Members can be small

At the campus development information meeting
last week, tribal planner Lonnie Macy, economic
development coordinator Kahseuss Jackson,
CH2M Hill landscape architect Rick Abelson, and
civil engineer Darren Hippenstiel review the
development options.
(Continued from page 1)
T his idea has been
talked about for a long
time, said Macy. T here
are, for instance, develop
ment plans from the late
1980s.
“Are the old plans still
relevant?” Macy asked,
“Or does the community
want something different.”
An older model o f a
downtown development
proposal is on display in
the lobby of the adminis
tration building.
The engineering firm
CH2M Hill has been work
ing with Macy on updated
plans. An important part
of the present phase o f

The Warm Springs popu
