support of the Bethel and Franklin Pierce school
districts' February 2010 levy measures.
Winterfest 2009 was a success! Thanks to all
FPS Division businesses and volunteers whose support
made this event possible--over a 1,000 toys were
given away as well as hundreds of new and used
children's clothing and coats.

The
Frederickson Employment Center is becoming one of
mid-Pierce County's fastest-growing economic engines.
The vision of the Employment Center is to be a major
source of employment in Pierce County. In order to
realize this vision, care must be taken in the
development of the Employment Center and surrounding
properties. The siting, design, and approval of new uses
must take into consideration employment density,
aesthetics, impact on surrounding properties, future
transportation projects, and other factors. Industrial
users will be more willing to locate in the Employment
Center with future Canyon Road improvements,
construction of the Cross-Base Highway, and extended
freight rail services. Additionally, the public must be
willing to support the infrastructure improvements
necessary to make the Frederickson Employment Center an
attractive place for industry to locate.

Frederickson, Parkland & Spanaway Division or its
