Prosser Leadership Business & Industry Day was a great success!

Our class spent the day learning firsthand about the entrepreneurs, business owners, and organizations that help drive Prosser's economy and community spirit.

The day kicked off with a Lunch & Learn at El Buen Gusto, followed by visits to several outstanding local businesses, including Brewminatti where new owner Peter Cole shared his vision for the future. Participants also toured AJW Construction, Sunflower Juice & Delights, Monson Ranch Distillers, Chukar Cherries, and Cork & Taps.

Thank you to each business for opening your doors, sharing your stories, and providing valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities of doing business in our community.

The Prosser Leadership class had an impactful and informative Public Services Day, learning firsthand how local city and county departments serve the community.

The day was hosted by Rachel Shaw, City Administrator, and Mayor Gary Vegar, who helped set the stage for a meaningful look inside public service in Prosser.

The class began with a Lunch & Learn at Brewminatti with Katy McLaughlin, Prosser Library Branch Manager.

At the Benton County Courthouse, Commissioner Michael Alvarez and Lorene Roe, Chief Deputy Auditor, provided insight into county government operations and the critical role they play in serving residents.

City Hall tours included presentations from Toni Yost (Finance Director/HR), Marty Groom (Public Works Department), and Nick Alsbury (Building Official), Mayor Vegar and Rachel Shaw highlighting the essential behind-the-scenes work that keeps the city running smoothly.

The day concluded with tours of:
