πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Lacey City and Thurston County are reviewing projects that require public comment.

Lacey Public Works submitted a proposal to convert a grass soccer field at 8345 Steilacoom Rd SE to synthetic turf, add sports lighting, seating, and safety netting at two softball fields. The project also includes replacing concrete at a baseball plaza and upgrading Wi-Fi. Comments are due by September 3.

Thurston County is reviewing two other projects. Blue Star Gas seeks approval for two 30,000-gallon propane tanks at 9326 Kimmie St SW in Olympia to improve residential and commercial service. The site is in a light industrial zone. Public comments are due August 28.

Thurston County also reviewed a request to clear 175,000 board feet of timber for a residential subdivision and a request for a dock at Lawrence Lake. Both have comment deadlines of September 3 and August 28 respectively.
