(Airdate: February 20, 2024) Maryanne talks with Bob Wheeler, a leader in the team behind the new Hadlock Sewer System. Right now the entire Hadlock region exists totally on primitive septic tank systems. The new sewer system will be a game changer for the entire Olympic peninsula. Example: Habitat for Humanity owns 17 acres there. Current zoning restricts it to building three houses on that property. With new zoning thanks to a modern sewer system, those same 17 acres could handle up to 200 dwellings. This has major ramifications for housing supply on the peninsula. It should usher in more affordable housing featuring apartments, town homes and other multi-family units. Construction is now well underway and Wheeler estimates completion of PHASE #1of the sewer system by mid 2025.
