Capital Area Regional Public Facilities District Board - City of Lacey

The Capital Area Regional Public Facilities District Board oversees a special taxing district established in 2003 by Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and Thurston County. The district finances bond payments for two significant regional event centers: Lacey’s Regional Athletic Complex and Olympia’s Hands On Children’s Museum. These facilities are crucial for enhancing recreational opportunities and community engagement in the area. The board plays a vital role in local governance and the financial sustainability of these projects, supporting both economic and social development. Since its inception, the district has fostered collaboration among local governments, demonstrating a commitment to community well-being.

It addresses the infrastructure needs of the region by providing funding mechanisms for essential public services. The board's efforts have a lasting impact on the community, promoting growth and accessibility to recreational activities. This initiative reflects the importance of public-private partnerships in facilitating regional development.
