The Sunset Area Community Investment Strategy meeting last night gave us a small glimpse at what is planned for the Sunset corridor.
We were able to record a video of the event and also take some pictures of the material presented.
As soon as we have it compiled, we will post a link here for you to review.
Also make note that on September 10, 2009 there will be a Open House and BBQ at the Highlands Community Center for the public to get a glimpse of what work has been done. The City of Renton has not posted it on their web site yet. When they do, we will update this post with a link.
One concern we have is that there have been meetings with “stakeholders” that were not revealed. We will do our best to identify who those “stakeholders” are and what was discussed.

The Renton City Council will be holding a meeting at the Highlands Neighborhood Center on 8/24/09 at 6:00 p.m. to discuss the Sunset Area Community Investment Strategy.
To date $65,000 has been spent for an outside firm, Mithum, to develop a plan. At this meeting, it is believed we will see a presentation of the plan and next steps on redevelopment along Sunset.
Additional information is available on the City of Renton’s web site.
UPDATE: More information was available as a Public Notice

Don Bressler
The “smoking gun” in the firing of Renton Technical College President Don Bressler is Bressler’s appointment of a new top finance officer from within the college’s ranks, without considering outside candidates, says a college trustee who resigned after Bressler’s ouster Tuesday night.
