RE: Support of Funding for Steven Street Upgrade Project in Mattawa, WA
To Whom It May Concern,
We are writing to request your support for the Port of Mattawa's FY 2026 Federal
Funding request for $2.5 million to upgrade the western portion of Steven Street in Mattawa,
Washington. This targeted and important infrastructure project is essential to transforming an
unimproved dirt and gravel roadway into a fully developed street with asphalt paving,
sidewalks, and utility infrastructure creating economic opportunities and improving quality
of life for the Mattawa community.
Mattawa, a rural community facing significant socioeconomic challenges, has 92% of its
students qualifying for free and reduced -price lunch. The Steven Street Upgrade Project is a
crucial infrastructure initiative designed to enhance safety, stimulate business growth, and
support residential expansion in Mattawa.
This project will deliver key infrastructure enhancements including durable asphalt paving,
pedestrian safety improvements, modern utility installations, and street lighting to unlock
Steven Street's full potential as a critical commercial corridor. Given its direct connection to
Road 24 SW, Mattawa's main thoroughfare, upgrading Steven Street will attract new
commercial development and support residential development, and improve transportation
access for residents and visitors.
Furthermore, this investment aligns with federal and regional priorities that promote
sustainable growth, economic diversification, and infrastructure resilience.

attract more commercial development, and foster a stronger and more vibrant community.

request.
