Here’s a look at what is on the business community agenda.
Kennewick Farmers Market

The weekly market will operate there through Oct. 26 from 4-7 p.m. every Thursday.
The farmers market joins the public market on the eve of its first anniversary, June 9. The indoor market features more than 60 local artisans and food vendors with products ranging from cheese, honey, jewelry, art, clothing and more.

Grandview Truck Plaza
Ramandeep Malhi, owner of Grandview Truck Plaza, and local officials will break ground on an $8 million travel plaza at 10 a.m., June 6, off Interstate 82 at Wine Country Road and Higgins Way in Grandview.
Grandview Truck Plaza will develop in phases and will bring a gas station, hotel, truck stop, convenience store, restaurant and other services to the community. It is the city’s top priority after a community survey identified the services as the ones residents most wanted.
Project funding is from a mix of public and private sources, including COVID-19 relief funds awarded by the city of Grandview, which is extending utilities and roads to the Port of Grandview-owned site.
