Wenatchee Foothills Campaign concludes with $8.67 million raised from more than 600 donors — public and private institutions and foundations, businesses, government and private grants and individuals.

Sharon Lunz, the CDLT's Communications & Development director, says, "This is an amazing community. They looked at what they wanted and had a say in what happened. This community has a can-do attitude and a sense of optimism." Rufus Woods writes in The Wenatchee World, "This achievement will one day be looked upon with the same reverence that people remember our predecessors who dared to create public utilities and take the risk of building dams on the Columbia River."
