Rotary Park Gravel Lots Closed Monday-Thursday

The City of Ellensburg is actively engaging its residents with several key announcements aimed at enhancing local services and community involvement. Beginning March 31, the gravel parking lots at Rotary Park will be closed during weekdays due to the Anderson Road sewer main extension project, limiting access for park visitors. On April 26, the city will host a recycling event in partnership with Waste Management and Central Washington University, promoting sustainable practices among residents. In an effort to foster economic growth, the city is encouraging participation in a survey that seeks residents' definitions of economic development, aiding in the formulation of smart growth strategies in Kittitas County. Additionally, the city has appointed Mark “Buddy” Stanavich as the new director of the Energy Services Department, which has been reorganized to better serve the community.

This change highlights the city's commitment to improving energy services and responsiveness. Residents are also invited to apply for vacancies on the Utility Advisory Committee, further encouraging public involvement in local governance. These updates underscore Ellensburg's dedication to community engagement and sustainable development as it navigates future challenges.
