Grant County Strategic Infrastructure Program Application
Economic Impact of the Project
1. What economic goals and/or objectives (identified in the comprehensive plan) does this project help the
community achieve?
The Port's Community Facility Project supports the community's goals of maintaining essential public
services, strengthening public infrastructure, and encouraging the long-term economic stability of rural
Grant County. Phase 5 will prepare a new public library building for future construction while improving the
existing medical clinic's rear ambulance access.. Together, these improvements will strengthen the
community services campus, support the continued delivery of healthcare and library services, and help
Coulee City remain a viable place for residents, employers, and workers.
2. How will this project foster economic growth, development, and address future economic needs?
Phase 5 will support economic growth by strengthening the public infrastructure needed to retain essential
healthcare and library services in Coulee City. Planning and design for the new library building will prepare
the Port to pursue construction funding and allow the medical clinic to expand into space currently occupied
by the library. Redesigning and paving the clinic's designated rear ambulance access will improve the
safety and functionality of the existing facility for patients, clinic staff, and responding EMS agencies.
Together, these improvements will support existing employment, accommodate future service growth, and
help Coulee City remain a viable place to live, work, and operate a business.
3. How will this project improve local infrastructure capacity?
Phase 5 will improve local infrastructure capacity in two ways. First, architectural, engineering, and site
planning will prepare a new library building for future construction, allowing the library to relocate and
creating additional space for the medical clinic to expand within the existing building. Second, redesigning
and paving the clinic's designated rear ambulance access will provide a safer and more functional route for
patient transport. Together, these improvements will increase the community services campus's capacity to
provide healthcare, emergency transport access, library services, and other essential public services to
Coulee City and the surrounding rural area.
4. Will the project result in training or other opportunities for the local workforce? Yes
If yes, please describe:
Phase 5 will create workforce -training and skill -development opportunities through the professional services
and construction activities required for this phase. Depending on how funding is secured, Phase 5 will
include architectural and engineering design, site -civil work, and the eventual construction of the
standalone library building. These activities provide opportunities for local architects, engineers, surveyors,
civil -site specialists, and construction crews to apply and expand their technical skills. The paving and
access -improvement work will also involve local contractors and equipment operators, offering short-term,
project -specific training and employment. As the library is constructed and the medical clinic expands into
its full intended footprint, additional long-term workforce opportunities may emerge in facility operations,
programming, and expanded healthcare services.
5. Will the project build and/or strengthen strategic alliances or partnerships? Yes
If yes, please describe the alliance and/or partnerships: (agencies, volunteers, etc.)

Phase 5 will strengthen several key strategic partnerships that are essential to the long-term success of the
community services campus. The project will continue to build collaboration among Grant County Port
District No. 4, Coulee Medical Center and its Coulee City Clinic, the Coulee City Library and NCW
Libraries, and the emergency medical service agencies that transport patients from the clinic. As the Port
advances the design, engineering, and eventual construction of the standalone library building —and
completes the redesigned rear ambulance access —the Port will coordinate closely with these partners to
ensure that both facilities meet operational needs, community expectations, and future service demands.
These partnerships support effective planning, safe emergency -transport operations, expanded healthcare
capacity, and modern library services, all of which are critical to the continued development and full
utilization of the community services campus.
6. How many full-time, permanent jobs will be created and/or retained as a direct result of this project?
a) Retained? Approximately 20
b) Created in 1-3 years? 2 in this phase
c) Additional created in 3-5 years? 4 in this phase
d) Wage rates for jobs created and/or retained? $17.131minimum
Phase 5 will support job retention and future job creation by enabling the community services campus to
operate at full capacity. Approximately 20 existing full-time positions associated with the medical clinic and
library will be retained as a direct result of completing this phase. Depending on how Phase 5 funding is
secured, the design, engineering, and potential construction of the standalone library building will create 2
new permanent positions within the first 1-3 years, with an additional 4 positions anticipated within 3-5 years
as the library expands services and the medical clinic grows into the space currently occupied by the
temporary library. Wage rates for retained and future positions begin at $17.13 per hour and will be refined
in coordination with Coulee Medical Center and NCW Libraries as Phase 5 advances.
7. What is the size of the population that will benefit from this project?
The project will directly benefit Coulee City's approximately 560 residents, along with an estimated 1,100
people in the surrounding rural area who rely on the community services campus for healthcare, emergency
patient transport, and library services. Because both the clinic and the library serve residents living outside
the city limits —including rural households, agricultural workers, and families across northern Grant County
the total population benefiting from Phase 5 is significantly larger than the incorporated population alone. The
improved clinic access and the future standalone library will enhance essential services for the entire regional
service area.
8. What quantifiable outcomes are you going to track to measure the success of this project?
The Port will measure the success of Phase 5 by tracking several clear, quantifiable outcomes tied to both
the design and infrastructure -improvement components of the project. These include completion of
architectural, engineering, and site -civil plans for the new standalone library; delivery of construction -ready
drawings and updated cost estimates; and completion of the redesigned and paved rear ambulance access
within the approved budget. The Port will also monitor the number of ambulance transports utilizing the
improved access, demonstrating enhanced safety and functionality for emergency patient movement.
Additional metrics will include progress toward securing construction funding for the library and the amount
of clinical space made available once the library relocates to its dedicated building. Together, these
outcomes will document both the immediate operational improvements to the campus and the project's
readiness for its next construction phase.

Project Readiness
1. When did or will you start work on the project?
Work on the Port's overall Community Facility Project began in 2015. Preliminary planning and cost
development for Phase 5 started in early 2026, including obtaining estimates for the architectural,
engineering, and site -civil design of the standalone library and the clinic's rear -access improvements. The
Port is prepared to begin the funded design, engineering, and paving work immediately upon receiving an
SIP award and completing the required contracting and procurement steps.
2. How many months will the work on this project take to complete? This phase?
The overall Port's Community Facility Project is a multi -year effort. Phase 5 is expected to take
approximately 12 months from the date funding becomes available. The rear -access improvements may
be completed earlier, depending on contractor scheduling and weather conditions, while the architectural,
engineering, and site -planning work for the new library will continue through the remainder of the phase. As
mentioned previously, Senator Cantwell has requested $3 million in FY 2027 federal funding for Phase 5,
which if awarded —will support the full construction of the standalone library building.
3. Please describe what steps are necessary to begin this project or this phase if you are proposing a multi-
phase project: (Please be specific)
To begin Phase 5, the Port must accept the SIP award, finalize the project scope and budget, and complete
all required public procurement and contracting procedures. Once these steps are completed, the Port will
execute agreements with the architectural and engineering team and with the paving contractor. Library
planning will begin with confirmation of site conditions, programming needs, building requirements, utility
connections, and input from the Port, NCW Libraries, and other project partners. The design team will then
prepare architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and site -civil plans, develop updated construction
cost estimates, and identify required permits and approvals. For the clinic access component, the Port will
confirm the final access layout, grading, drainage, and ambulance -movement requirements before
completing site preparation and paving.
4. Summarize efforts taken to date in terms of project funding:
a) Amount and source of funds?
b) Matching funds?
c) If conditions are attached to any of these funds, please describe
Since 2015, the Port has secured approximately $3.2 million for earlier phases of the Community Facility
Project. This includes $1.8 million in state funding, $900, 000 from Grant County's Strategic Infrastructure
Program, and $500, 000 in Port contributions. These funds supported site acquisition, design, and
construction of the Medical Center, which opened in late 2024. In March 2026, the Port requested $3
million in FY 2027 Congressionally Directed Spending for the remaining Phase 5 improvements, and
Senator Maria Cantwell has formally included the Port's FY 27 request in her priority request list. This
federal request is pending and is not considered committed funding.
No matching funds have been formally committed specifically to the work included in this SIP request. The
Port's prior investment in the campus demonstrates substantial local participation, but those funds
supported earlier phases and are not available as cash match for Phase 5.

Grant County EDC, 406 W Broadway Ave, Ste A; Moses Lake, WA 98837; Phone: 509-764-6579
Please include attachments and supplemental materials
Grant County Strategic Infrastructure Program Application
Funding secured for earlier phases was restricted to approved site acquisition, design, construction, and
related campus improvements, and has been committed or expended for those purposes. The requested
federal funding remains subject to congressional approval and any future federal grant requirements. No
conditions currently apply to the proposed SIP funds beyond the program's standard contracting,
eligible -cost, documentation, and reporting requirements.
5. What engineering reports and feasibility studies have prepared?
a) When?
b) With what recommendations?
The Port has completed several planning and feasibility efforts that directly support Phase 5:
2019 Library Facility Assessment (May 22, 2019) A site visit and facility assessment were
completed as part of the statewide library facilities planning process. The assessment found that
the former Coulee City Library had outgrown its available space, lacked adequate room for basic
programming, and could not reasonably be expanded due to site and building constraints. It
recommended construction of a new library with a minimum area of approximately 3,500 square
feet.
• 2026 Phase 5 Feasibility and Cost Analysis (Early 2026) The Port completed an updated
planning -level analysis for the remaining community -campus improvements. The analysis
confirmed the need for a standalone library, completion of the remaining clinic space, and
improvement of the campus's rear access. It recommended moving forward with Phase 5 to
eliminate the current shared -space limitation and allow both the library and medical clinic to
operate at full capacity.
• 2026 Architectural, Engineering, and Site -Civil Scope (2026) The Port obtained a professional
estimate for the design of the new library. The proposed scope includes architectural and
engineering design, construction -ready drawings, and site -civil work, with an estimated cost of
$173,337.
2026 Rear -Access Evaluation and Paving Estimate (2026) The rear clinic access was
evaluated for ambulance use, vehicle movement, grading, and paving needs. The current
improvement estimate is $21,240. The recommendation is to redesign and pave the access to
improve stretcher movement, ambulance operations, patient privacy, accessibility, and safety.
6. What permits are necessary for the project? (Please list with approval dates)
No permits have been issued for Phase 5 at this time. The architectural and engineering work itself does
not require a construction permit. Before completing the rear -access improvements, the Port and its
site -civil engineer will coordinate with the Town of Coulee City to determine whether grading, drainage,
right-of-way, or paving approval is required. Approval dates are pending completion of the final access
design.
Permits and approvals for the future library construction are expected to include site -plan review; building,
mechanical, plumbing, electrical, fire -code, utility -connection, grading, and stormwater or drainage
approvals, as applicable. These permits are not part of the present construction scope; the Phase 5 design
team will identify the final requirements and prepare the documents needed for later permit applications.
• Rear -access grading/drainage approval — Pending final design
Please email application to: Brant@grantedc.com to:
Grant County EDC, 406 W Broadway Ave, Ste A; Moses Lake, WA 98837; Phone: 509-764-6579
Please include attachments and supplemental materials
Grant County Strategic Infrastructure Program Application
• Right-of-way or paving approval, if required — Pending confirmation by the Town
• Future library site -plan and building permits — Not yet submitted; construction -ready
documents will be produced during Phase 5
7. Are there other factors significant to this project that we should be aware of?
a) Emergency declarations
No emergency declaration is currently associated with the project. However, the rear access is the clinic's
designated ambulance pickup area and is therefore important to safe and reliable patient transport.
b) Regulatory compliance issues
The rear -access improvements are needed to address the functionality of the campus access and complete
an outstanding infrastructure obligation associated with the site. Final design will address applicable
grading, drainage, accessibility, emergency -vehicle access, and local permitting requirements. The future
library design will also incorporate applicable building, fire, energy, and accessibility standards.
c) Inability to secure alternate funds
The Port has invested substantially in earlier phases of the community campus, but its available revenues
and reserves are not sufficient to fund the current design and access improvements without outside
assistance. The Port has requested federal funding for the remaining Phase 5 construction, but that request
is pending and is not a committed funding source. SIP assistance is needed to complete the immediate
rear -access work and produce construction -ready library plans that will position the Port to compete for
future construction funding.
d) Other
The library is currently operating from space within the Medical Center, which limits the clinic's ability to use
the building at its intended capacity and expand healthcare services. A standalone library is therefore
necessary for both facilities to operate fully. In addition, the clinic's rear access is used for transporting
patients out of the clinic. EMS agencies completed three patient pickups at the clinic during 2025, and that
volume is expected to increase with improved clinic scheduling availability. The present gravel surface and
constrained layout make stretcher movement and ambulance access more difficult and reduce patient
privacy. These conditions make both components of Phase 5 important to the campus's long-term
operation.
8. If your project receives a commitment for an SIP grant or loan, when will you need the funds?
The Port will need the SIP funds as soon as they become available following award and execution of the
funding agreement. Funds will be used during the 1 2-month Phase 5 implementation period to begin
architectural, engineering, and site -civil design work and to complete the rear -access improvements during
the first suitable construction window.
9. Identify funds (General Fund, Utility Fund, Property taxes, etc.) that are eligible to repay a SIP loan.
Potential repayment sources would include the Port's General Fund revenues, property -tax levy revenues,
and lease or rental income from Port -owned properties. The Port does not operate a utility fund. However,
these revenues are limited and are needed to support existing operations, property maintenance, and other
public obligations. For that reason, the Port is requesting an SIP grant rather than a loan.
10. In the context of the local government's overall annual budget, explain the need for SIP assistance.
Grant County Port District No. 4 serves a small rural tax base and has limited annual revenues available for
major capital projects. The Port has already contributed approximately $500,000 to earlier phases of the
Community Facility Project and remains responsible for operating, maintaining, and repairing its existing
public facilities and properties. The estimated $200,000 cost of Phase 5 is beyond what the Port can

absorb through its annual operating budget without delaying essential maintenance or creating an
unsustainable financial burden.
Any available reserves are needed to maintain adequate cash flow, respond to unexpected repairs, meet
existing contractual obligations, and protect the continued operation of Port -owned facilities. Those
reserves are not sufficient to complete Phase 5 while also preserving the Port's ability to meet its ongoing
responsibilities. SIP assistance will allow the Port to address the clinic's immediate rear -access needs and
complete construction -ready planning for the new library without compromising essential operations or
other public assets.
Local and Regional Support & Investment for the Project
1. Are Cities, Port Districts, the County, Schools, or other entities involved in funding the project?
Grant County Port District No. 4 is the project owner and applicant. The Port has contributed approximately
$500,000 to earlier phases of the Community Facility Project. For the current phase, the Port is requesting
$200,000 from Grant County's Strategic Infrastructure Program. No additional funding from a city, school
district, or other local government has been formally committed to Phase 5 at this time.
2. Are there any regional, State, or Federal funds being used for the project?
Earlier phases received approximately $1.8 million in state funding and $900,000 through Grant
County's Strategic Infrastructure Program. Those funds supported site acquisition, design, and
construction of the Medical Center and have been committed or expended. In March 2026, the Port
requested $3 million in FY 2027 Congressionally Directed Spending for the remaining Phase 5
improvements. That federal request is pending and is not included as committed funding in the current
budget.
3. What is the private sector investment in the project?
No private -sector funding has been formally committed to the work included in this SIP request. The
Medical Center's continued tenancy and operation represent an ongoing private and institutional
commitment to the community services campus, but that support is not being reported as a cash
contribution to Phase 5.
4. What is the local investment in the project from clubs and other organizations (non -government)?
No cash contributions from local clubs or nonprofit organizations have been formally committed to Phase 5
at this time. The Port will continue working with community organizations and project partners to develop
support for the future library construction phase.
5. Is there other support or investment in the project not covered above?
The project is supported by the medical clinic, library representatives, emergency medical service
agencies, and community members who rely on the campus. Their participation will help guide the library
design and ensure the rear -access improvements meet operational and patient -transport needs. Letters of
support from project partners and community stakeholders will be included with the application where
available.

1. Economic Development Section of the Comprehensive Plan listing the public facility
The Port of Coulee City Community Facility Project is listed in the Economic Development Section of the
Grant County Comprehensive Plan, meeting the statutory requirement under RCW 82.14.370 that the
public facility be included in an adopted comprehensive plan. Because earlier phases of the project
received SIP funding, the public facility was formally incorporated into the County's economic -development
plan at that time and remains an eligible, listed project for continued SIP investment.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies public -facility improvements that support rural economic development,
essential services, and community infrastructure —categories under which the Port of Coulee City's
Community Facility Project is included. This listing satisfies the SIP requirement that the project be part of
an adopted economic -development strategy.

RE: Grant County Port District #4 SIP Funding Request
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my strong support for Grant County Port District #4's (Port of Coulee City) application for SIP funding to im-
prove the rear access and circulation area behind the Coulee Medical Clinic and to complete the architectural and engineering design work
for a future community library, which will be constructed as a separate building on the same downtown parcel.
The proposed improvements to the clinic's rear access will provide a safe, reliable, and functional surface for emergency medical
transport. The current gravel area presents unnecessary challenges for ambulance crews, patient movement, and equipment handling. A
paved and properly designed access route will enhance patient safety, improve emergency response efficiency, and ensure EMS personnel
can transport patients without unnecessary risk or delay.
In a small rural community, protecting those in need of emergency care is paramount, but it is equally important to protect our vol-
unteer EMTs and emergency crews. They -should never have to hesitate, even for a moment, while determining the safest and most private
route to move a patient from the clinic to an awaiting ambulance. These improvements will provide the safe and dependable access that both
patients and first responders deserve.
I also strongly support the Port"s request to complete architectural and engineering plans for a future public library. Developing con-
struction -ready design documents is a critical step toward securing future funding and expanding essential community services. A modem
library would provide educational, cultural., and technological resources for residents of all ages while serving as s an important community
gathering place for generations to come.
Constructing the library in its own dedicated building will also create the opportunity .for the Coulee Medical Clinic to expand the
healthcare services it can provide services that are already in high'demand by local patients. Together, these projects represent a thought-
ful, phased investment in public infrastructure that will strengthen essential services, improve public safety, and support the continued
growth of Coulee City.
Coulee Medical Center (CMC) is a Critical Access Hospital serving Douglas, Grant, Lincoln, and Okanogan counties across a vast
rural region of North Central Washington, including portions of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. CMC is the primary
access point for healthcare throughout this area and is the region's only Level IV Trauma Center. For many families in my community, it is
the only hospital system within an hour's drive.
Through its clinic in Coulee City, CMC provides an essential hub -and -spoke model of care, offering follow-up appointments, pre-
ventive care, diagnostic testing, patient education, and referrals to specialized services when necessary. Residents from Coulee City, Grand
Coulee, and surrounding communities can receive many of their healthcare needs close to home. This is especially important for elderly res-
idents, individuals with limited transportation,, and families who face long travel distances. It becomes even more critical during the winter
months, when snow, ice, limited daylight, and hazardous road conditions can make travel both difficult and dangerous.
Expanding the clinic would also create opportunities to bring additional healthcare services to our community, including much -need-
ed behavioral and mental health care. Access to these services continues to be one of the greatest healthcare challenges facing rural commu-
nities, and additional clinic space would help CMC better meet those growing needs.
For these reasons, I wholeheartedly support Grant County Port District #4's request for SIP funding to advance Phase 5 of this
important project. This investment will improve emergency medical access, strengthen healthcare delivery, expand opportunities for future
community services, and enhance the quality of life for residents throughout our region.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and support of this critical project.
Sincerely,

SIP Review Committee
RE: Coulee City Medical Clinic
Dear SIP Review Committee Members:
As a provider at Coulee Medical Center who provides care at the Coulee City Medical Clinic, I strongly
support Grant County Port District No. 4's application for funding to improve the rear access and circulation
area serving our clinic and to complete the architectural and engineering planning for the future community
library.
Our clinic provides essential healthcare services to residents of Coulee City and the surrounding rural
communities. While our facility is fully operational, the existing gravel rear access presents challenges when
patients require ambulance transport to a higher level of care. Emergency medical transportation from the
clinic may be provided by several EMS agencies serving our region, depending on availability and dispatch.
A paved rear access and improved circulation area would provide a safer, more reliable surface for
ambulances, stretchers, wheelchairs, and EMS personnel. These improvements would enhance patient safety,
improve accessibility during emergency transports, support patient privacy, and allow emergency responders
to access the facility more efficiently when timely transport is needed.
We also support the Port's request to complete the architectural and engineering design for a future public
library adjacent to the existing clinic. Developing construction -ready plans is an important step toward
expanding community services and positioning the project for future construction funding.
Together, these projects represent a thoughtful, phased investment in public infrastructure that will strengthen
healthcare access and support the continued growth of essential community services in Coulee City.
I appreciate your consideration of this application and respectfully encourage your support for this important
investment in our community.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Douglas, Grant, Lincoln and Okanogan Counties Public Hospital District Number 6

SIP Review Committee,
On behalf of the staff at Coulee Medical Clinic in Coulee City, we are pleased to offer our strong
support for Grant County Port District #4's application for funding to improve the rear access
and circulation area serving our clinic, as well as to complete architectural and engineering
planning for the future community library.
Our clinic provides essential healthcare services to residents of Coulee City and the surrounding
rural communities. While our facility is fully operational, the existing gravel rear access presents
challenges when patients require ambulance transport to a higher level. of care. Emergency
medical transport from the clinic may be provided by several EMS agencies serving our region,
depending on availability and dispatch.
A paved rear access and improved circulation area would provide a safer, more reliable surface
for ambulances, stretchers, wheelchairs, and EMS personnel. These improvements would
enhance patient safety, improve accessibility during emergency transports, support patient
privacy, and allow emergency responders to more efficiently access the facility when timely
transport is needed.
We also support the Port's request to complete the architectural and engineering design for a
future public library adjacent to the existing clinic. Developing construction -ready plans is an
important step toward expanding community services and positioning the project for future
construction funding.
Together, these projects represent thoughtful, phased investment in public infrastructure that will
strengthen healthcare access and support the continued growth of essential community services
in Coulee City.
We appreciate your consideration of this application and respectfully encourage your support of
this important investment in our community.
Sincerely,

GRANT COUNTY PORT DISTRICT NO. 4
(Port of Coulee City)
March 7, 2026
To: US Senator Maria Cantwell
Re: FY 2027 Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) Request — Port of Coulee City Community Facility Project
Phase 5
Dear Senator Cantwell,
The Port of Coulee City (Grant County Port District No. 4) respectfully requests your support for $3 million in FY 2027
Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) to complete Phase 5 of the Port 's Community Facility Project. This final phase will
construct a new standalone public library, complete all remaining medical tenant improvements, and fulfill the last outstanding
infrastructure requirement for full campus buildout.
Coulee City and the surrounding rural communities have long faced challenges stemming from outdated public facilities. The
former library could no longer meet the needs of modern educational services, and the previous medical clinic, located in a
repurposed World War II era meeting hall, was too small and insufficiently equipped to support current healthcare demands.
These limitations restricted access to essential services for residents across the region.
Since 2015, the Port has secured more than $3 million in state, local, and Port funding to address these needs. This includes
$1.8 million in state funding, $900,000 from Grant County's Strategic Infrastructure Program, and $500,000 in Port
contributions. These investments enabled site acquisition, design work, and construction of the new Medical Center, which
opened in late 2024 and now provides modern healthcare services in partnership with regional hospitals and Grant County Mental
Health.
Phase 5 is necessary to complete the campus and allow both the Medical Center and the future Library to operate at full capacity,
A portion of the Medical Center is currently being used as a temporary library, limiting available clinical space and constraining
service expansion.
Phase 5 will deliver three critical components:
• Construction of a standalone public library, creating a modern hub for education, digital access, and community
programming.
• Completion of 100% of the medical tenant improvements as originally designed, enabling expanded services including
transition care, specialty referrals, and future offerings such as obstetrics, endocrinology, and mental health support.
• Construction of the city -required off -site paved alley, the final infrastructure obligation for full site compliance.
The Port's feasibility analysis identifies approximately $3.2 million in total Phase 5 costs, including $1,515,875.20 for the library,
$1,462,173.60 for medical tenant improvements, and $307,200 for the paved alley.
Completing Phase 5 will resolve the current shared -space constraint, deliver full operational capacity for both the library and the
Medical Center, and finalize the public -facing components of the community campus. This investment will strengthen healthcare
access, expand educational resources, improve digital connectivity, and support long-term economic vitality for residents
throughout Grant County.
The Port of Coulee City is committed to ensuring that rural communities have access to the same quality of public services found
in larger population centers. We respectfully request your support for $3 million in FY 2027 CDS funding to complete this
transformative project.
Thank you for your consideration and for your continued leadership on behalf of Washington's rural communities. The Port would
welcome the opportunity to provide any additional information your office may need as you evaluate this request.

To whom it may concern,
We are writing in strong support of the Port of Coulee City (Grant County Port District No. 4) request for $3
million in FY 2027 Federal Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) / Community Project Funding (CPF)
to complete Phase 5 of the Port's Community Facility Project. This final phase will construct a new
standalone Library Building and complete the remaining tenant improvements for the newly opened Medical
Center.
Coulee City and the surrounding rural communities have long faced significant challenges due to outdated
public facilities. The former library could no longer meet the needs of modern educational services, and the
previous medical clinic —housed in a repurposed World War II -era meeting hall —was too small and
insufficiently equipped to support current healthcare demands. These limitations created barriers to
essential services for residents across the region.
Recognizing these needs, the Port of Coulee City launched amulti-phase effort to modernize community
infrastructure. Since 2015, the Port and its partners have secured more than $3 million in state, local, and
Port funding, including:
• $1.8 million in state funding
• $900,000 from Grant County's Strategic Infrastructure Program (SIP)
• $500,000 in Port funding for property acquisition and matching contributions
These investments enabled site acquisition, topographic surveys, pre -design work, and construction of the
new Medical Center. In late 2024, the Port celebrated the opening of this facility, which now provides
state-of-the-art healthcare services in collaboration with regional hospitals and Grant County Mental Health.
Until the standalone Library Building is constructed, a portion of the Medical Center is temporarily serving
as the community library.
To complete the project, Phase 5 will:
• Construct a new standalone Library Building adjacent to the Medical Center, creating a modern hub for
education, digital access, and community programming.
• Complete final tenant improvements to fully equip the Medical Center for expanded healthcare services,
including transition care, specialty referrals, and future offerings such as obstetrics, endocrinology, and

This project represents along-term investment in the vitality of Coulee City. The Medical Center is already
improving access to healthcare across Grant County, and the new Library will significantly expand
educational resources, digital connectivity, and community engagement. Together, these facilities will
strengthen economic development, support families, and enhance quality of life for residents throughout the

Re Support for FY 2027 Federal Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS)/Community Project Funding (CPF)
Request— Port of Coulee City Community Facility Project (Phase 5)
To whom it may concern,
We are writing in strong support of the Port of Coulee City (Grant County Port District No. 4) request for $3 million in
FY 2027 Federal Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) / Community Project Funding (CPF) to complete Phase s of
the Port's Community Facility Project. This final phase will construct a new standalone Library Building and complete
the remaining tenant improvements for the newly opened Medical Center.
Coulee City and the surrounding rural communities have long faced significant challenges due to outdated public
facilities. The former library could no longer meet the needs of modern educational services, and the previous medical
clinic housed in a re purposed World War 11-era meeting hall was too small and insufficiently equipped to support
current healthcare demands. These limitations created barriers to essential services for residents across the region.
Recognizing these needs, the Port of Coulee City launched a multi -phase effort to modernize community
infrastructure. Since 2015, the Port and its partners have secured more than $3 million in state, local, and Portfunding,
including:
• $1.8 million in state funding
• $9oo,000 from Grant County's Strategic Infrastructure Program (SIP)
• $500,000 in Port funding for property acquisition and matching contributions
These investments enabled site acquisition, topographic surveys, pre -design work, and construction of the new
Medical Center. In late 2024, the Port celebrated the opening of this facility, which now provides state-of-the-art
healthcare services in collaboration with regional hospitals and Grant County Mental Health. Until the standalone
Library Building is constructed, a portion of the Medical Center is temporarily serving as the community library.
Since moving to the new Coulee City Library location in) an uary of 2025, we have seen a 20.93% increase in the number
of library materials checked out, and a nearly 1o% increase in foot traffic. We have also seen a 14.5% increase in new
library card sign-ups from 2024 to 2025.
To complete the project, Phase s will:
Construct a new standalone Library Building adjacent to the Medical Center, creating a modern hub for education,
digital access, and community programming.
Complete final tenant improvements to fully equip the Medical Center for expanded healthcare services, including
transition care, specialty referrals, and future offerings such as obstetrics, endocrinology, and mental health
support.
Given the impact the temporary move to the Medical Center has had on overall library usage, we believe that
completing Phase 5 of the plan will have an even greater impact on this community, providing a standalone space that
will allow our library staff to provide impactful programming, engage community members across all demographics,
and address ongoing needs for learning resources, relational connection, and access to digital resources that are
essential for equipping communities in the 215t century.
This project represents a long-term investment in the vitality of Coulee City. The Medical Center is already improving
access to healthcare across Grant County, and the new Library will significantly expand educational resources, digital
connectivity, and community engagement. Together, these facilities will strengthen economic development, support
families, and enhance quality of life for residents throughout the region.
Forthese reasons, we strongly support the Port of Coulee City's request for $3 million in FY 2027 CDSXPFfundingto

Re Support for FY 2027 Federal Congressionally Directed Spending CDS /Communit Project Fundin CPF
Request — Port of Coulee City Community Facility Project (Phase 5)
To whom it may concern,
We are writing in strong support of the Port of Coulee City (Grant County Port District No. 4) request for $3 million in FY 202
Federal Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) / Community Project Funding (CPF) to complete Phase 5 of the Port's
Community Facility Project. This final phase will construct a new standalone Library Building and complete the remaining tenant
improvements for the newly opened Medical Center.
Coulee City and the surrounding rural communities have long faced significant challenges due to outdated public facilities. The
former library could no longer meet the needs of modern educational services, and the previous medical clinic —housed in a
repurposed World War II -era meeting hall —was too small and insufficiently equipped to support current healthcare demands, These
limitations created barriers to essential services for residents across the region.
Recognizing these needs, the Port of Coulee City launched a multi -phase effort to modernize community infrastructure. Since 2015,
the Port and its partners have secured more than $3 million in state, local, and Port funding, including:
• $1.8 million in state funding
• $900,000 from Grant County's Strategic Infrastructure Program (SIP)
• $500,000 in Port funding for property acquisition and matching contributions
These investments enabled site acquisition, topographic surveys, pre -design work, and construction of the new Medical Center. In
late 2024, the Port celebrated the opening of this facility, which now provides state-of-the-art healthcare services in collaboration
with regional hospitals and Grant County Mental Health. Until the standalone Library Building is constructed, a portion of the Medical
Center is temporarily serving as the community library.
To complete the project, Phase 5 will:
• Construct a new standalone Library Building adjacent to the Medical Center, creating a modern hub for education, digital
access, and community programming.
• Complete final tenant improvements to fully equip the Medical Center for expanded healthcare services, including transition
care, specialty referrals, and future offerings such as obstetrics, endocrinology, and mental health support.
This project represents a long-term investment in the vitality of Coulee City. The Medical Center is already improving access to
healthcare across Grant County, and the new Library will significantly expand educational resources, digital connectivity, and
community engagement. Together, these facilities will strengthen economic development, support families, and enhance quality of
life for residents throughout the region.
For these reasons, we strongly support the Port of Coulee City's request for $3 million in FY 2027 CDSICPF funding to
complete Phase 5 of the Community Facility Project.

Re: Support for FY 2027 Federal Congressionally Directed Spending
(CDS)/Community Project Funding (CPF) Request — Port of
Coulee City Community Facility Project (Phase 5)
To whom it may concern,
We are writing to express our enthusiastic support for the Port of Coulee
City's Community Facility Project and to underscore the critical importance
of securing continued funding for Phase 5. This transformative initiative has
already demonstrated remarkable benefits for Coulee City and the wider
Grant County region, and further investment is essential to fully realize its
long-term potential.
With the help of $1.8 million in state funding, $900,000 from Grant County's
Strategic Infrastructure Program (SIP), and $500,000 in Port funding for
property acquisition and matching contributions, the project has made
tremendous progress. These investments enabled the acquisition of the
site, completion of topographic surveys, pre -design work, and ultimately,
-construction of the new Medical Center.
In late 2024, the Port proudly celebrated the opening of this state-of-the-art
Medical Center, which now provides high -quality healthcare services in
partnership with regional hospitals and Grant County Mental Health. While
the standalone Library Building is being planned, a portion of the Medical
Center is also serving as a temporary community library, ensuring
uninterrupted access to vital resources for local residents including
students in the ACH school system. The library also provides valuable high
speed Internet access to the many residents of the area who do not enjoy
this service in their homes.
To complete the project's vision, Phase 5 will:
• Construct a new standalone Library Building adjacent to the Medical
Center, creating a modern hub for education, digital access, and
community programming.
• Complete final tenant improvements to fully equip the Medical Center
for expanded healthcare services, including transition care, specialty
referrals, and future offerings such as obstetrics, endocrinology, and
mental health support. Currently some of these services are only
available in Moses Lake or Grand Coulee, and in some cases in
Wenatchee. That places an undue hardship on the population of this
rural community as these destinations require a 45 to 90 minute one
way drive which increases the cost of healthcare as well as causing a
sometimes difficult drive in severe winter conditions from November
to March.
The Community Facility Project is a strategic, long-term investment in the
health, education, and prosperity of Coulee City. The Medical Center is
already making a significant impact by improving healthcare access across
Grant County, and the forthcoming Library will dramatically expand
educational resources and digital connectivity. Together, these facilities will
serve as cornerstones for economic development, support for families, and
enhanced quality of life for residents throughout the region.
For all these reasons, We strongly support the Port of Coulee City's request
for $3 million in FY 2027 CDS/CPF funding to complete Phase 5.
Continued funding is essential to ensure the full realization of this project's
benefits for our community now and for generations to come.
Thank you for your consideration and support of this important initiative.

Re Support- for FY 2027 Federal Conqressionally Directed §2gp_!1n_q (CIS )/Community.. Project Funding (CPFJ
Re nest — Port of Coulee City Community Facility ProjectPhase�
To whom it may concern,
We are writing in strong support of the Port of Coulee City (Grant County Port District No. 4) request for $3 million in FY 2027
Federal Congressionally Directed Spending {CDS) / Community Project Funding (CPF) to complete Phase 5 of the Port's
Community Facility Project. This final phase will construct a new standalone Library Building and complete the remaining tenant
improvements for the newly opened Medical Center.
Coulee City and the surrounding rural communities have long faced significant challenges due to outdated public facilities. The
former library could no longer meet the needs of modern educational services, and the previous medical clinic —housed in a
repurposed World War Il-era meeting hall —was too small and insufficiently equipped to support current healthcare demands. These
limitations created barriers to essential services for residents across the region.
Recognizing these needs, the Port of Coulee City launched a multi -phase effort to modernize community infrastructure. Since 20151
the Port and its partners have secured more than $3 million in state, local, and Port funding, including:
$1,8 million in state funding
$900,000 from Grant Countys Strategic Infrastructure Program (SIP)
'$500,000 in Port funding for property acquisition and matching contributions
These investments enabled site acquisition, topographic surveys, pre -design work, and construction of the new Medical Center. In
late 2024, the Port celebrated the opening of this facility, which now provides state-of-the-art healthcare services in collaboration
with regional hospitals and Grant County Mental Health. Until the standalone Library Building is constructed, a portion of the Medical
Center -is temporarily serving as the community library.
To complete the project, Phase 5 will,
Construct a new standalone Library Building adjacent to the Medical Center, creating a modern hub for education, digital
access, and community programming,
Complete final tenant improvements to fully equip the Medical Center for expanded healthcare services, including transition
care, specialty referrals, and future offerings such as obstetrics, endocrinology, and mental health suppoft.
This project represents a long-term investment in the vitality of Coulee City. The Medical Center is already improving access to
healthcare across Grant County, and the new Library will significantly expand educational resources, digital connectivity, and
community engagement. Together, these facilities will strengthen economic development, support families, and enhance quality of
life for residents throughout the region.
For these reasons, we strongly support the Port of Coulee City's request for $3 million in FY 2027 CDS/CPF funding to
complete Phase 5 of the Community Facility Project.

Economic Impact of the Project
1. What economic goals and/or objectives (identified in the comprehensive plan) does this
project help the community achieve?
Grant County's 2025 Comprehensive Plan update, Appendix J- Grant County Economic
Development Council Strategic Infrastructure Program (SIP) (Attachment #1), includes the new
Kitchen.. and equipment discussed in this application.
The new assisted living, memory care facility and community wellness center, also included in Appendix
J to Grant County Comp Plan, relies on the planned renovation of the existing kitchen and construction of
a new serving area in McKay's skilled nursing facility (SNF). These changes are thoughtfully designed to
expand the capacity of the existing facilities to be able to serve both the SNF and the assisted living and
memory care wing. SIP 2025-03 previously approved funds for the architecture, electrical and
structural engineering costs for the kitchen renovation. These drawings and engineering
calculations are complete and will be submitted to the Washington Department of Health
Construction Review Services for permit review and approval.
Discussion of Proposed Renovation: The new kitchen serving area adds 280 square feet of food prep
space, adds a new serving space, reduces use of large carts, reorganizes the work space for more efficient
work flow and modernizes the equipment to meet the increased use. Large built-in cabinets in the kitchen
are being removed for more efficient stainless steel storage carts that can be moved and to make better use
of the vertical space. The improved work flow and space are shown in Figure I on the opposite page. In
general, the steps for this project include:
1. Demo and remove contents of storage areas for conversion to the new food prep space, demo
wooden built-in cabinets in kitchen, install barriers for dust control - to be performed by staff.
2. Cut concrete for new doorway into the kitchen and install structural supports. Retain barriers for
dust control.
3. Remove and relocate back wall of serving area, install new doorway to main dining hall in SNF,
complete finish work and install new electrical wiring and. receptacles.
4. Upgrade electrical service for kitchen area and purchase and install more efficient lighting,
5. Remove old equipment and install new equipment to extend useful lives to 40 years or more...
Discussion of Electrical work. The electrical work consists of updating electrical switches, installation of
"0 more energy efficient fixtures (LEDs), adding ceiling occupancy sensors, dimming switches, backup battery
systems and new receptacles and electrical conductor from kitchen panels to serve new light fixtures and
equipment in the new serving and kitchen areas. When this work is completed, this kitchen will fanction
like a new, modem kitchen.

Project Objectives per the Comprehensive Plan Update: The objectives of the Phase I project
include.- 1) expanded access to AL and MC services for seniors; 2) better care and better health
outcomes for seniors and; 3) lower overall housing/healthcare costs for regional seniors. The
expanded and renovated SNF kitchen will enable McKay to meet these objectives at the lowest
cost.
The combination of these healthcare services (skilled nursing, assisted living and memory care)
will anchor a first of its kind continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Central Washington.
CCRC is a long-term care model that allows residents to safely age in place within the community
as they progress from independent living, to assisted living or memory care and then to a skilled
nursing facility for rehab or other longer term nursing care. CCRCs foster a strong sense of
community and social connection, reducing isolation and promoting mental well-being which
supports better quality of life. Here, the CCRC will include:
Independent Living (Future Phase 2). Independent living options help address social
determinates of health by offering seniors access to better diets, social activities, health monitoring
and other in -home services that allow them to remain healthier and independent for longer which
reduces the need to transfer to higher levels of care.
0 Assisted Living (Phase 1). Assisted living is a vital long-term care option in rural areas
because it helps older adults remain in their communities while receiving the support they need. By
providing assistance with daily activities, medication management, and regular monitoring these
service reduce hospital admissions while assisting with chronic disease management.
4
Memory Care (Phase 1). The growth in forms of dementia is outpacing available space
in care facilities. Individuals with forms of dementia in Adult Family Homes, for example, also go
untreated and have lower over-all quality of life and shorter life spans. They would be better served
and at lower cost within a local memory care facility with greater focus on memory related therapies
and social interaction.
0 Skilled Nursing Care (Existing). McKay Healthcare is positioned to focus on right -sizing
its skilled care services around Medicare and acute care therapies while efficiently integrating the
delivery of assisted living and memory care services. This project will strengthen the collaboration
between existing rural healthcare providers by keeping residents local and maintaining continuity
with their existing local healthcare providers.
Currently, there are no licensed assisted living or memory care facilities within a CCRC complex
in central Washington. CCRC services are found only in Seattle and Spokane, Washington
metropolitan areas. A new AL wing with memory care and assisted living will improve access to
meet the growing demand for healthcare care services for an aging population. This project is a
critical step in, McKay's vision to expand their efforts in providing essential long-term and skilled
nursing care services to severely under -served and rural aging and disabled populations in Grant
County.
2. How will this project foster economic growth, development, and address future economic
needs?
All three of the small rural communities within the hospital district boundary, Soap Lake, Coulee
City, and Wilson Creek, are predominantly low income areas. Per the 2020 census, Soap Lake had
population close to 1670 and a median household income (MHI) of $37,767 which was 46.6% of
the state MH1 which was $78,874. Approximately 15% live below the poverty line. Similarly, the
2020 Census showed Coulee City, Washington, had a population of 549, a median age of 65.8
years, MHI of $49,135 and 16.6 % poverty rate. Wilson Creek also has a MH1 of $55,000 and a
poverty rate of 17.5%. The business plan for Phase I wing reflects this demographic by providing
approximately 30% of the room space for low income / Medicaid residents. (The SNF currently
provides care to over 75% Medicaid residents). This demographic data shows the highly rural
rovi
nature of the population and the need for economic development in this area.
McKay Healthcare currently employs more than 50 FTEs in the skilled nursing facility (SNF) and
maintains an annual budget of over $6 million dollars. It is currently one of the largest employers
in the small community of 1700 providing sustainable family wages and benefits. Pbase.1 will add
approximately 28 FTEs bringing the total to over 80 FTEs for the SNF, AL and MC. In addition to
the capital investment of approximately $27 million dollars, this project will have a very critical
impact to an area in need of family -wage paying jobs, The MC and AL alone will support an annual
payroll estimated at $1,801,000. These jobs will establish an employment presence in the
community 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.
Over tirne, new services for seniors will be expanded through subsequent phases to include
independent living, affordable housing and workforce housing on the 23 acres of property that it
owns. Phase 2 includes 44 independent living duplex units, involves a $26 million capital
investment, and creates an estimated 100 new construction jobs and 6 new FTEs. After
construction, McKay will be the largest employer in Soap Lake and is already a well -established
pillar in the connnunity.
Moreover, the community wellness center, which is part of Phase 1, will create opportunities for
private workforce development which 'Includes a bistro, salon, classroom programs, community
meeting or movie space, and childcare to name a few. This could create up to an additional 20 jobs
if not more, including several positions available for student employment. With organized childcare
operating in the community center, this area will be central point for parents, students and children
and create opportunities for multi -generational social interaction thereby reducing the social
isolation that is often felt by seniors.
The proposed senior living community project will support direct employment in the areas of
nursing, healthcare aides, management, maintenance, dietary services, medical records, social
services and activities to name a few. It will also promote private employment of hundreds of
construction workers, child care / daycare workers, beauticians, arts and crafts teachers, servers,
cooks and several others. Theoretically, every position could be filled with the local workforce.
3. How will this project improve local infrastructure capacity?
This project is designed to improve physical capacity for the aging population residing in Grant
County. The reason we believe this project will succeed is based on the growing unmet demand for
these services. Between 2010 and 2022, the 65+ age group increased the most in Grant County,
increasing by 41.3 %. The 75+ age group increased by 35% between 2010 through 2024. This data
demonstrates the need for new facilities to meet the growing demand for healthcare care services
for the elderly.
The Alzheimer's Foundation reports 120,000 Washington cases in 2020. By 2025, that number is
expected to grow to 140,000 — an increase of 16.7%. An estimated 10.6% of Grant County's 65+
population has Alzheimer's disease, according to new estimates released in 2023 by the
Alzheimer's Association. That compares to 10.2% statewide, and ranks #5 of the 39 counties in
Washington included in the data. Locally, it means about 1500 people have Alzheimer's in Grant
County. There are not enough facilities currently to meet this demand.
New assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing facilities will increase the number of private
rooms avail
able to meet current and future demand. As McKay's senior living community expands
to facilitate a continuum of care model, residents here will be able to transition seamlessly to other
types of residences, have timely access to care appropriate for their specific health conditions,
maintain their current living and social environment and improve their overall quality of life.
Increased private rooms and private pay residents will also positively influence McKay's revenue,
ensuring organizational financial sustainability and peace of mind for locals currently or
prospectively seeking medical and/or senior housing close to home and all that is familiar.
4. Will the project result in training or other opportunities for the local workforce? X Yes 0
No
If yes, please describe: McKay's long-term vision to expand low-income senior living
infrastructure and capacity is expected to have a direct impact on the local workforce.
As previously stated, located adjacent to the local Soap Lake High School, McKay Healthcare will
have the opportunity to offer workplace training to recent high school graduates. McKay Healthcare
plans to develop a work-study program with the local high school to create opportunities for future
employment.
The proposed senior living community project will support direct employment in the areas of
nursing, healthcare aides, management, maintenance, dietary services, medical records, social
services, business office, maintenance and activities to name a few. It will also promote private
employment of hundreds of construction workers, child care / daycare workers, beauticians, arts
and crafts teachers, servers, cooks, accounting, maintenance and numerous types of consultants and
contractors that are indirectly employed by McKay Healthcare. Theoretically, nearly every new
position could be filled with a local workforce.
5. Will the project build and/or strengthen strategic alliances or partnerships? X Yes 11 No
If yes, please describe the alliance and/or partnerships.- (agencies, volunteers, etc.): McKay
currently collaborates with Team Health who provides McKay with a Medical Director who
oversees clinical operations, Pharmerica provides pharmacy services, and Rehab Visions contracts
a nurse practitioner to provide telehealth visits bi-weekly to each patient and physical, speech, and
occupational therapists for specialized resident care. Other long term contracts include accounting
and payroll support, food service, %.W and leaal services to name a few.
This project will enable McKay to build strategic alliances with the City of Soap Lake, to integrate
services and infrastructure consistent with the community's standards. Development of the assisted
living and memory care services that will support and anchor the larger senior living community
project is the critical next step in McKay's long-term strategy. These new services will provide
efficient and sustained care to residents in areas that are largely unmet in the community. It will
also strengthen existing strategic alliances established between McKay and leaders from other
skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, memory care and continuing care retirement communities
as they seek to find ways to improve the quality and availability of services for aging populations,
low-income senior housing resources, and rural community healthcare needs.
Without these facilities, families will move out of the area in advance of their need to be closer to
areas that can offer these levels of care and services. This project will strengthen the collaboration
between existing rural healthcare hospitals and clinics by keeping residents local and maintaining
continuity with existing healthcare providers.
SIP funding has allowed McKay to contract with some of the top architects, project planners and
developers in the industry. Additional design development by RFM will provide McKay with
shovel -ready documents that will support the board and staffs efforts to build, leverage, and
strengthen funding partnerships for the next phases of the overall project. They are also contributing
to McKay's experience, knowledge, and relationships working with professional engineering firms
and several local contractors.
McKay has also partnered with the Columbia Basin Foundation (CBF) and Paul Lauzier
Foundation to assist with fundraising with measureable success toward Phase I of McKay's Master
Plan and numerous other projects. These funding relationships will be key in raising new dollars
and support for the larger senior living community project.
6. How many full-time, permanent jobs will be created and/or retained as a direct result of this
project?
a) Retained? 50+ full-time equivalent (FTE) at McKay; dozens of others indirectly who provide
necessary services to support McKay's current operations. Many of these contractual
arrangements have been discussed. Additionally, the current payroll budget at McKay is
approximately $4.5 million per year.
b) Created in 1-3 years? From Phase 1, approximately 28 new FTEs will be employed by McKay
Healthcare including healthcare aides, management, maintenance, dietary services,, medical
records, social services and activities to name a few. Annual payroll in the AL and MC wing,
is projected to be in excess of $1,800,000. Indirect and induced jobs, including those at the
community wellness center, are estimated around 20 new jobs with an annual payroll of
$800,000 each year. The total payroll 'impact from new facilities is about $2.6 million /year.
Employment projections also include 160 new construction workers for Phase I - assisted
living and memory care. Wage rates for journey level workers are discussed below.
c) Additional created in 3-5 years? Completion of the Community Wellness Center, which is
part of Phase 1, will create up to 20 jobs in the private sector. Phase 2 construction of
independent living cottages will create up to 6 FTEs and up to 100 construction workers.
d) Wage rates for jobs created and/or retained? Licensed nursing positions can earn between
$25 and $75 per hour depending on licensure, skill, and experience. Similar compensation is
available to accounting professionals and entry level management staff. To attract top
performers to an updated and expanded facility, wage rates could 'increase by 10% - 20% over
'0 time.
Journey level construction workers are paid prevailing wage rates and could earn more on an
hourly basis. Examples of current
prevailing wage rates in for journey levels- positons Grant

Based on a study by economists at Grant County EDC, total ongoing annual financial benefit
from this project is approximately $4.5M+. Over 10 years, the financial benefit is $45 M..
7. What is the size of the population that will benefit from this project?
Grant County, Washington is home to 97,733 residents, of which 14% or 13,682 people are age 65
or older. In addition, 8.9% or 8,698 people are under age 65 and living with a disability. In Soap
Lake, a community of 1,700, 27% of the population is 65 or older and the median age is 42.5. The
project is currently designed to capture only part (6%) of the unmet demand for the assisted living
and memory care services needed within a 20 mile radius, according to our consultant GSI. This
reflects a very realistic and achievable goal, with the potential to expand to meet the remaining
need in future phases. ,
8. What quandflable outcomes are you going to track to measure the success of this project?
Completion of the architecture and engineering work will result in bid ready construction
documents, bidding support, and permitting through local and state regulatory agencies by licensed
architects and engineers.
Completion of permit studies to include habitat, cultural resource review, and a traffic study, will
help score the project high for future competitive grants that rank construction readiness.
This project will also achieve,
1. Increased access to long-term care, skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care
options for residents in Grant County.
a. Measured by the number of beds, rooms, and types of services available at McKay.
2. An enhanced quality of life for residents at McKay.
a. Measured by pre and post construction surveys that gauge current resident
satisfaction with privacy, social interaction, their physical environment, and their
health and welt -being among other things.
b. Also measured by McKay's ability to effectively prevent and/or mitigate the
spread of infectious disease and virus outbreaks.
Progress will be tracked by McKay"s Licensed Nursing Home Administrator (Administrator) and
evaluated by the Board of Commissioners on a periodic basis.
IL Project Readiness
1. When did or will you start work on the projects?

4. Summarize efforts taken to date in terms of project funding,
a) Amount and source of funds?
Since 2020, McKay, its staff, leadership, and nonprofit partners have diligently and
successfully secured approximately $1.8 million in funding for facility improvements and
modernizations financed from facility operations, grants and community contributions to
purchase an emergency generator and bus, upgrade laundry and kitchen equipment, install
entrance signage, improve the resident's outdoor area, renovate 3 bathrooms, paint the exterior
of the facility, add a new roof, purchase a new van, decommission old oil tanks, install a new

10
The City of Soap Lake completed the rezone for the project development from the R1 to
R3 zoning classification allowing for increased density and multi -family use.
Studies are underway or in development for permit review studies including cultural
resources, priority habitat and traffic studies.
b) What recommendations? -
Critical Data Strategies, LLC determined the four following options are viable for McKay
to pursue: 1) expansion of current facility, 2) low-income senior housing, and 3) memory
care center in the current McKay facility.
0 GSI, LLC took a second took at the reconnnendat 'ions by, Critical Data Strategies to see
which of the recommendations or other projects can be developed into a viable business
that is additive to McKay's revenues. Based on GSI's findings, the Master Planning
Committee decided to update the project and sequence the phasing of the project as
follows: Phase 1 - build a new 32-unit assisted living/memory care facility (16 units each,
all single rooms) plus a community center; Phase 2 - build 10 new buy -in homes up to 44
units in total; and Phase 3 - build a new 32-bed skilled nursing facility, 16 unit memory
care facility and support structure.
0 GSI's research on core unmet demand discussed herein also supports development of the
project.
0, Rice Fergus Miller has developed a detailed scope of work for professional design services
including Master Planning that considers the architectural, interiors, civil, landscape,
structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection needs of the project. The
scope of work covered under this grant request includes Phase I site plan development that
must be done concurrently with the schematic design and design development work that is
currently underway and development of construction ready documents.
6. What permits are necessary for the project? (Please list with approval dates).
There are no permits required as part of this request. Upon completion of the work covered by this
grant, McKay Healthcare will be in position to apply for the building permit, conditional use permit
and grading permit for this project.
7. Are there other factors significant to this project that we should be aware of?
a) Emergency declarations? N/A
b) Regulatory compliance issues? N/A
c) Inability to secure alternate funds. N/A
d) Other? N/A
8. If your project receives a commitment for a SIP grant or loan, when will you need the funds?
As described herein, project will be put to immediate use as soon as the award is approved by the
Board of County Commissioners (BOCC).
9. Identify funds (General Fund, Utility Fund, Property taxes, etc.) that are eligible to repay a
SIP loan.
N/A. Because McKay serves a predominantly low-income resident mix, Medicaid is insufficient to
pay anything more than basic costs of daily services. The deficit to cover capital expenses is
currently made up from residents who pay from private resources, Medicare, a small amount of
property taxes and ProShare funds. As a result, there are no operating revenues available for loan
repayment.
1 t
10. In the context of the local government's overall annual budget, explain the need for SIP
assistance. It the applicant has reserve funds or budget reserves, please explain why these
funds are not available for the project.
Approximately 75% of McKay's residents are low income, Medicaid residents. Because the
Medicaid reimbursement rate is substantially below the costs of providing 24-hour skilled nursing
services, the high variability among Medicare, private pay, and other income sources, McKay
cannot effectively budget for capital facilities projects. It has no budget reserve from its operating
budget. The projected 2026 budget is essentially breakeven.
McKay has received other grant funds that comprise a small percentage of the overall cost of the
Phase I project and will be dedicated to other aspects of the project. Even with these other grants,
available resources are currently 'insufficient to meet the anticipated project costs. In this regard,
for example, the costs for professional services such as architecture, civil and structural
engineering, and consulting work necessary to develop construction ready plans have dramatically
increased and exceed existing resources, making it even more necessary to secure support from
private and public philanthropic sources.
Local and Regional Support & Investment for the Project
1. Are Cities, Port Districts, the County, Schools, or other entities involved in. funding the
project? No.
2. Are there any regional, State, or Federal funds being used for the project? Not at this time,
however, McKay is in the process of developing its financing plans for the larger project.
3. What is the private sector investment in the project.? There are currently no private sector funds
secured for the projects identified in this application. Other funds are planned as part of the capital
stack for project development.
4. What is the local investment in the project from clubs and other organizations (non -
government)? McKay has ongoing project plans and some funding for interior improvements that
are not part of the application. McKay plans to continue to develop its financing plans including
local and regional private, public, and community nonprofit foundations and/or individual donors
for grants and contributions.
5. Is there other support or investment in the project not covered above? No

We are writing in support McKay Healthcare's plans for expansion of its healthcare facilities on
22 acres- of property that it owns, located adjacent to the Soap Lake School District's high school,
middle school and grade school complex. The Soap Lake School District would benefit greatly
from the creation of jobs
good paying in this smalltown that will come from funding McKaZ5Z�_
Healthcare's expansion plans.
McKay Flealtheare has long been a valued partner and trusted healthcare provider for seniors in
our region, consistently delivering high -quality healthcare with compassion and professionalism.
�Ve understand that Phase I of the expansion project consists of renovating the existing kitchen
facilities, constructing a 16-unit assisted living and 16-unit memory care wing and coma-iunity
center to complement NJcKav s existing skilled nursinLy. care. This project will enable McKav
Healthcare to:
* 0 ffer work-study programs and training for students and recent high sichool c'Fraduates.
* Employ more residents in areas of nursIniz health care aides, management, maintenance,
dietary services, medical records, social ser-6ces and activities to name a few. It will also
promote private employment of hundreds of construction workers, child care / day-care
workers, beauticians, arts and crafts teachers, servers, cooks and several others.
Create an environment that fosters a stronu sense of community and stronger familial
connection between students (grandchildren) and residents (grandparents) in the sarne
coinniunity.
Enhance the social interaction among residents and the community with the development
of a community center which includes a Bistro, salon, classroom programs and childcare
to name a few actiacent to the schools district's facilities.
Meet local connnun0 needs by offering essential childcare services in the community
next to the school's facilities in Soap Lake.
• Expand the rural workforce and economic development for years to come through
expanded employment opportunities.
• Retain families in the local area who will continue to contribute to the economic vitality
of the region, rather than move away.
These new projects will provide the senior care that rural co ities, like Soap Lake are
severely lacking. The facilities and services will also attract new businesses and industries to the
area, which in turn will spur economic development and diversity within a part of Grant County
that has been sadly overlooked,
Please feel free to share this letter on your website and with potential funding agencies.

Re: FY 26 CDS Request
Requesting Entity: Public Hospital District No. 4 of Grant County, WA d/b/a McKay Healthcare and

Requesting Entity County: Grant County, Washington
Project Name: Phase 1— Site work for construction of Assisted Living and Memory Care and Kitchen
Renovation / Expansion
Letters of Support
Dear Senator Murray:
We are writing in support McKay Healthcare's plans for expansion of its healthcare facilities on 22
acres of property that it owns and is located adjacent to the Soap Lake School District's high school,
middle school and grade school complex. The Soap Lake School District has a declining student
population that would benefit greatly from the creation of good paying jobs in the small town that will
come from funding McKay Healthcare's expansion plans.
We understand that McKay Healthcare has recently completed its master plan for the 22 acre site.
The master plan includes developing a continuing care retirement community across 5 development
phases. Phase 1 of this plan includes developing a new 16 unit Assisted Living (AL) and 16 unit
Memory Care (MC) wing and community clubhouse adjacent to its existing 42 bed skilled nursing
facility. Additionally, we understand that McKay Healthcare is working diligently with is architects,
Rice Fergus Miller, to complete the design and construction documents for this initial phase by
September 30, 2025.
Specifically, we support McKay Healthcare's FY 26 CDS request for approximately $3,000,000 to
cover the initial site development costs and construction of the kitchen facilities expansion that is
needed to serve both the existing residents within the skilled nursing facility and the residents at the
future AL and MC wing. This funding will help to enhance existing services and provide the initial
momentum for future funding and bring in needed jobs to stimulate our local economy.
The economic value of just Phase 1 of this project is extremely important to the City and the School
District for the creation of good paying jobs. This project will ensure the retention of the 50 FTE staff
that McKay Healthcare currently employs and create up to 160 temporary construction jobs and 25

additional full-time positions when phase I is completed. This project will also increase the local tax
base and create a very compatible use adjacent to the School District. Completion of Phase 1 will
lead to the start of future phases 2 — 5 and further boost the economic activity by tens of millions of
dollars and generate needed property tax revenue for the School District.
These new projects will provide the senior care that rural communities like Soap Lake are severely
lacking. The facilities and services will also attract new businesses and industries to the area, which
in turn will spur economic development and diversity within a part of Grant County that has been
sadly overlooked.
Your consideration of their request for additional funding is greatly appreciated.
