RFP for Connell Industrial Site Readiness/Economic Development Market Analysis
The Port of Pasco, WA, a public agency, is seeking a professional consultant to prepare the Connell Industrial Site Readiness/Economic Development Market Analysis. This project is funded by the Washington State Community Economic Development Revitalization Board (CERB). This project is being conducted in partnership with the City of Connell.
In October 2024 the City of Connell was notified of the immediate closure of the Lamb Weston potato processing facility. The facility had been in operation since 1967 as the second largest employer in the city. At the time of the closure notice, 375 employees were laid off.
As the lead economic development agency in Franklin County, the Port of Pasco has partnered with the City of Connell to identify future options for the recruitment and attraction of private industrial employers from a variety of industry sectors as identified by NAICS Codes.
This is a two-part study. See RFP documents for scope of work.
