Background of the Dispute
A Kennewick-based development company recently took legal action against the City of Sunnyside, claiming that an agreed-upon contract was not honored. The dispute centers on the Monson property, where a housing project was planned on Outlook Road.
Allegations of Breach
According to information from the complaint, Sunnyside allegedly failed to fulfill its contractual obligations concerning this housing initiative. While details of the contract are not publicly disclosed in the source, the developer insists that the alleged breach significantly impacts the project’s progress.
Monson Property Under Scrutiny
The Monson property, eyed for a housing development on Outlook Road, anchors the central conflict. Though official statements on the property’s status are limited, the lawsuit signals potential delays for a project that many hoped would expand housing options in the area.
