Heights District Development in central Vancouver gains $4M federal grant for infrastructure
Work includes traffic safety improvements and a greenbelt path for pedestrians and cyclists
The first federal investment in the Heights District Development in central Vancouver was announced Monday by U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and U.S. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Skamania.
The $4 million investment comes from the appropriations package President Joe Biden signed into law Saturday. The money will be used to make initial infrastructure improvements.
The Heights District Development covers 205 acres in central Vancouver, including a 63-acre parcel off Mill Plain Boulevard where Tower Mall used to stand. The project will bring hundreds of residential units — including some for low-income families — as well as commercial space to the area.
“Infrastructure investments like these are necessary in order to transform the up-and-coming Heights District into the economic engine that Vancouver leaders are envisioning,” Cantwell said in a statement.
