ZILLAH — City officials are holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday to celebrate the installation of the only traffic light in Zillah.

The light to be installed next month is part of a $1 million project to widen the intersection and install sidewalks at First Avenue and Vintage Valley Parkway.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reports the Zillah city council expects increased traffic in the town of 2,600 from a housing development.
