• City is proposing to purchase approximately 22.90 acres of property located near the north end of Fruit Valley Road for $5,020,000.00.
• Acquistion of the subject property will facilitate completion of the Fruit Valley Freight Access and Safety Improvement Project.
• The project provides a much-needed improved freight connection between Interstate 5 and the Port of Vancouver and reduces freight traffic on Fruit Valley Road through the Fruit Valley neighborhood.  

Transportation and Mobility - a safe, future-ready and convenient transportation system.

Vibrant and Distinct Neighborhoods – a variety of accessible places and spaces.

Safe and Prepared Community – a safe place to live, work, learn, and play.

The City has negotiated the acquisition of approximately 22.90 acres of property located adjacent to Fruit Valley Road and NW Whitney Road. The City's interest in acquiring this property comes as a result of the Fruit Valley Freight Access and Safety Improvement Project. This project provides a much-needed improved freight connection between Interstate 5 and the Port of Vancouver and reduces the volume of freight traffic on the southern portions of Fruit Valley Road within the Fruit Valley neighborhood, school and park areas. 

A Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) has been developed between the City and the property owners with a negotiated sale price of $5,020,000. This amount is included in the current 2023-2024 approved budget. 

• Acquisition of the property facilitates a much-needed freight and safety improvement project.
• Prevents the property from being developed, which would hamper efforts to complete the road improvement project.
