Purposely different
Vista Field development is purposely different. An economic analysis concluded that an unmet demand exists for mixed housing, commercial, office, hospitality, and entertainment opportunities. The years-long public planning process confirmed the community’s deep interest in this locally unprecedented development.
Beyond establishing an urban core in the Tri-Cities, the development of Vista Field will add both taxpayer equity and value to the Tri-Cities and the broader region.
Once the entire 103-acre Vista Field site is completed, economic projections indicate redevelopment could mean nearly 1,000 residential units, 740,000 square feet of commercial space, more than $500 million in private-sector investment, $51 million in new infrastructure, $408 million in new (taxable) buildings and 3,380 jobs.
The additional property taxes generated by the development would provide new revenues for police, fire, hospital, libraries, schools, parks, and other services.
