We're Gonna Celebrate!

A celebration is in the making to commemorate the new Ruston Way - the first tangible completion of new development on the former industrial property. The party happens on April 21st. The ribbon cutting kicks things off at 9:30 and the first race starts at 10 am. There will be both a fun run and an elite race for the pros.

Legal manager for Point Ruston Loren Cohen had this to say about plans for the ceremony; "Rep. Norm Dicks, Tacoma Mayor Strickland and Council Member Ryan Mello are planning to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony, plus a few other local dignitaries are invited who should really make this event special. I’m hoping that the Ruston council and Mayor will all turn out as well... and coupled with the police and fire dept. vehicles, and hopefully a Pierce Transit bus, this could be a really cool commemoration of the new Ruston Way!"

Ruston Councilmember Jim Hedrick has agreed to speak for the town. Hopefully many will wander down from the hillside and join in the celebration. We are finally on our way!
