What’s New?

 

§ At the Dec 14th Renton City Council meeting, the City Council passed a resolution to put
an annexation vote on the ballot on November 2, 2010.  The previous petition areas
 “Red Mill” and “Greater Renton” will be combined in an effort to include both citizen and business request.  The City Council and senior staff have pledged to get accurate information out to the Fairwood residents so that they can make an educated choice of their future governance.
