RICHLAND â New homes, apartments, a school and city park could soon replace an aging Richland orchard.
The Washington State Department of Natural Resources plans to start converting 300 acres of agricultural land behind the sprawling Queensgate retail complex into a mostly residential development starting in early January.
The lots are off Kennedy Road, stretching north to the Yakima River, behind the Queensgate Target store, on the southwest border of Richland and West Richland.
The city of Richland rezoned the property about two years ago from agriculture to commercial, residential and public uses, said a state release.
This property is currently leased as an orchard but the fruit trees were reaching the end of their useful life, said the state, and the farmer informed DNR they did not plan to renew the lease.
