Today, King County issued a press release announcing that environmental and local leaders struck a deal with Lakeside Industries to halt asphalt plant on SR-169. The planned asphalt plant will no longer move forward, and will instead be replaced with a warehouse space, in an agreement struck between King County and landowner Lakeside Industries.
This is an ideal outcome– along with the Renton City Council, I deeply appreciate King County Councilmember Dunn’s advocacy on behalf of those of us within the Cedar River watershed. This is an important win for the Renton community and our environmental sustainability goals.
I’m proud to have been able to work in tandem with Councilmember Dunn to secure a resolution that is beneficial to King County, the City of Renton, Lakeside Industries, and the multiple community advocacy groups engaged in this effort.
– City of Renton Mayor Armondo Pavone
