NEW RESIDENTIAL

CARE FACILITY COMMUNITY MEETING

NEW RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITY

Storhaug Engineering will host a community meeting to present and discuss the site selection process for an Intensive Behavioral Health Facility, classified as an Enhanced Services Facility (ESF).

As part of the regional siting process required by Spokane County, a comprehensive location analysis was conducted. This evaluation assessed 24 available property alternatives across Spokane County against the core operational and functional requirements of the New Essential Care Facility Project.

Current Progress & Next Steps

  • Functional Analysis: A preliminary functional analysis has been completed for all 24 potential locations, resulting in a narrowed list of semi-finalist sites. A list of these 24 locations is included with this notice.

  • Qualitative Analysis: Following this meeting, a qualitative analysis of the semi-finalist sites will be conducted to evaluate qualitative factors and site suitability further.

  • Final Selection: Upon completion of the qualitative analysis, approximately three finalist locations will be identified and submitted to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) for review. The BOCC will then rank and recommend the preferred site(s) for the New Essential Care Facility Project.

Community Meeting Details

At this meeting, the applicant’s agent will present an overview of the siting process completed to date and summarize the findings of the initial location analysis.
