SUMMARY:
The City received grant funds from the Washington State Legislature to support the economic
revitalization of the Eastside Employment Center(area around Harrison Medical Center). The City
desires to ensure that this Eastside Employment Center remain an economically vital center with
both jobs and housing as Harrison Medical Center transitions to Silverdale. Implementation of this
vision requires the selection of a qualified special project team. DCD widely advertised a request for
proposals and following review of the responses has selected BERK Consulting, Inc.
BERK will prepare a market analysis, redevelopment and subarea plan, and planned action EIS for
the Eastside Employment Center. There will be two phases of the project accomplished with this
funding: 1) Preparation of an economic market analysis to determine the probable uses and
residential densities that can be anticipated in the study area after the departure of Harrison in 2020,
and 2) Community outreach visioning and adoption of a subarea plan with a Planned Action
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). This plan will ensure that there is a smooth transition from
the current Harrison Medical Center to new uses that benefit the community. It is expected that the
preparation of this plan will lay out the action steps necessary to ensure that the area is economically
viable, that the plan is market tested, and ensures that future permitting is streamlined.
