Tim Arntzen Executive Director Vista FieldColumbia Drive/WaterfrontWest Richland/Red Mountain Tri-City Herald Editorial: “Few entities have a greater effect on the future of the Mid-Columbia than Port of Kennewick. Ports are always drivers of economic development, but the Port of Kennewick is poised to shape some large portions in the heart of the city as it redevelops Vista Field, the Columbia Drive corridor and waterfront, and the former raceway property near Red Mountain.” October 8, 2013 WEDA
