COVINGTON, Wash. An urban village complete with a movie theater, restaurants, condos, apartments and townhomes is coming to the city of Covington.
The new development called LakePointe Urban Village is expected to break ground in 2023 following the construction of the Covington Connector, which is a $30 million project that will provide access to LakePointe. It s under construction right now, said Covington City Manager Regan Bolli. It will widen and extend 204th [Avenue] to go down into that development and connect to Highway 18, and once that s done, then that commercial development and residential development will start.

A local camp of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers helped unveil a 33-year old time capsule and shared fond memories of helping establish The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Maple Valley area.
Maple Valley has transformed the past few decades. The loss of greenbelt makes way for more subdivisions and shopping centers. One group of local women remember well when Four Corners was nothing more than a flashing signal, or when it was treacherous to cross Highway 18 before the overpasses were built.

KEYSER - A fireworks company would like to help Keyser put a little more bang into its annual Fourth of July celebration in exchange for a little storage space on city property.
Tim Evans, representing the Starfire Corporation, has asked the Keyser City Council if the company could place a storage container on city property off Waxler Road to help make shipping and distribution easier when they provide fireworks for Keyser and a number of surrounding municipalities.
“We’re looking for a place locally to store a magazine - basically a shipping container,” he said. “This allows us to reduce shipping costs and ease the logistics on our busiest shipping days.”

KEYSER The City of Keyser is working with Thrasher Engineering and the Region 8 Planning and Development Corporation to move forward with plans to construct a sludge storage sled at the city’s wastewater treatment facility.
City administrator Jeff Broadwater said during the Jan. 13 city council meeting that he hopes to be able to obtain a 100% grant or loan forgiveness for the project.
“It is a critical piece, and one of the last pieces to finish the (upgrade) of the sewer system,” he said, explaining that, once constructed, it will save the city some money.
