Washougal approves multi-family housing tax exemption

Companies that are interested in building multiple-unit housing developments could qualify for property tax exemption if the mixed-use projects are built in downtown Washougal or near the Washougal Waterfront Park and Trail.

The Washougal City Council voted 5 to 2, June 27, in favor of establishing a multi-family housing tax exemption program. Michelle Wagner and Paul Greenlee voted against the ordinance.
