Housing development under consideration

RITZVILLE – A Western Washington Company is considering a plan to build a new housing development near Weber Road.

Windsor Engineers of Vancouver is considering the development on 40 acres within city limits, officials said. The land – currently in agricultural use and owned by the Galbreath family – is a triangle-shaped parcel north of Weber and east of First Avenue.
