Longview residents submitted nearly 600 responses to a survey about community priorities, which will shape the 2027-2028 city budget, according to a July 13 news flash. The city is also recruiting volunteers for 'For' and 'Against' committees to support a November ballot measure raising property taxes for Fire & EMS services. The levy lid lift must be approved by voters to increase tax revenue for emergency services. Intersection closures for gas line work on 15th Ave/Oregon Way and Tennant Way/Nichols Blvd. and a Maple Street lane closure between Commerce Ave and 12th Ave are scheduled through July 9, per the city's utilities division.
