The Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board awarded nearly $90,000 in grants for economic development in Chelan and Whitman counties. The board gave $39,750 to the city of Wenatchee to work on a redevelopment and recruitment strategy. Wenatchee will supply $13,250 in matching funds and develop a development plan for south Wenatchee. The Port of Whitman County will put up $16,500 to match a $50,000 grant to evaluate construction of a LEED-certified building for companies that emerge from Washington State University. The board has given more than $168 million to governments across the state, which it said has created more than 34,000 jobs.
