Dear Council Members,
The Yakima Greenway Foundation Board of Directors would like to invite the Council members and the
Yakima community to a learning session about the Yakima Greenway Corridor.
The Yakima Greenway is about to begin an update of its current Master Plan. It is vital that City and
County officials along with members from the Yakima community participate in this process
The Yakima Greenway serves as the "backyard" for so many in our community. We feel that a learning
session about the Greenway, its past and its future, will provide an excellent opportunity for discussion
and visioning as we continue to conserve, pressure and protect this irreplaceable asset of our valley.
We hope you will accept this invitation and look forward to discussing a date that will be compatible
with your schedules.
Respectfully,
Kellie Connaughton, Executive Director
Yakima Greenway Foundation
