City Council considers proposed annexation

RITZVILLE – The city may be growing in the near future to include more property near the Interstate 90-State Highway 261 interchange.

H & L Reimer Family L.L.C. has submitted a letter of intent allowing annexation of a property adjacent to the corporate limits.

The land, described by the Adam’s County Assessor’s Office as a tract 150 feet by 330 feet (49,500 square feet), is located next to Love’s Travel Stop and across the road from Big Bend Electric.

If accepted, the proposed annexation would be zoned as “tourist commercial.” The letter of intent provided no details about the type of business to be located on the property.

The City Council will meet in September to further discuss the proposed annexation.
