Community Advisory Committees
Help Shape the Future of Columbia Park West
What could Columbia Park West become for our community? The Richland Public Facilities District (RPFD) is seeking community leaders, stakeholders, and subject matter experts to help inform that vision.
Through its Community Advisory Committees, RPFD will bring together community perspectives and expertise to support planning for museums, performing arts, and the park experience. This work will help explore opportunities for arts, culture, recreation, education, tourism, and economic development in the Tri-Cities.
