Home My WebLink AboutPark & Recreation Acquisition (1967) July 21, 1967 Mr. Richard Page Program Coordinator Forward Thrust White-Henry-Stuart Building Seattle, Washington 98101 Dear Mr. Paget Transmitted herewith is the information relating to the City of Renton's Capital Improvement Program. I have not, with one exception, included any cost for the development of existing areas. Hopefully, this can be funded by other means and, for the most part, at this point in time it is deemed advisable to concentrate on the acquisition of properties. At the present time it is estimated that development costs for existing areas is $1 ,540,000 excluding the proposed activity center to be located on an existing 19-acre tract, centrally located, and on which the present City Hall now stands.
