• Improvements to Brady Road
• Construction of the 18th Avenue Reservoir
• Construction of the Lacamas Creek Pump Station
• Improvements at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The city will immediately begin working with contractors to ensure the construction sites are safe and secure during the stoppage.
“As you know, we are monitoring the COVID-19 situation frequently. Things change very quickly,” said Mayor Barry McDonnell. “Governor Inslee is continuing to call for additional protective measures across the state. These important projects will ultimately move forward, but I believe that stopping all construction in Camas at this time is the right decision for everyone’s health and safety.”
