Infrastructure

You will find infrastructure nearby and numerous building sites available.

  1. Intersecting U.S. 24 is North Cummings Lane, a developing industrial corridor with planned commercial development at major street intersections. 
  2. Intersecting Cummings Lane just south of U.S. 24 is Cruger Road, which was completely reconstructed in 2003 and 2005.  Additional roadway improvements are underway.
  3. Coupled with roadway improvements, a major sanitary sewer extension project was completed in 2003 to serve planned growth areas along Cruger Road and Cummings Lane.
  4. Several commercial developers have land available in Washington.  Current commercial subdivisions and shopping centers are anchored by Wal-Mart Supercenter, K-Mart, Kroger, Cohen’s Furniture, GKC theaters, Dollar General, two car dealerships, and medical offices.  Both large and small sites are available for immediate development.
  5. Water - The City’s second water tower and water treatment plant provide service to development in and around the business corridor.
  6. The City of Washington owns and operates the water system and has made a major commitment to the development of an adequate water supply. 
  7. In 1994, two new wells and a new water treatment plant were completed to serve developing areas within and around the City.  Two additional wells and pumps were installed in 2003 to meet current and future demands.
