Snohomish mulls use of Ludwig property

The city of Snohomish has scheduled a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at a house at 2000 Ludwig Road to discuss the potential uses for the house.

The city in 2014 purchased the house and 10-acre property to be developed as a park but now it doesn’t have the money for it in the budget. So Snohomish is considering alternatives, such as getting a caretaker to maintain the house or starting an artist-in-residence program until the park can be developed. For more information, call 360-282-3195.
