Got ideas about what should happen next on McNeil Island, now that the prison’s closed?
Here’s your chance to make them known.
As part of a long-range planning process for the island, the state Office of Financial Management has scheduled two open houses next week to explain the process and gather public comments.
The first open house will be in Olympia. It’s scheduled for 12:30-2:30 p.m. Monday in the Columbia Room of the Legislative Building on the Capitol Campus. The second open house will be in University Place. It’s scheduled for 5-7 p.m. Tuesday at the Pierce County Environmental Services Building, 9850 64th St. W.
People who can’t attend either of the open houses can send their comments to mcneilcomments@ofm.wa.gov.
