We know a thing or two about partnering with the community to get a job done. With our 11-year contract nearing a close, Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) is not forgetting the commitment we’ve made to improve the place where we live and work. Since the beginning of our contract in 2008, we have contributed more than $6.5 million to community events and initiatives (more: wrpstoc.com/community/).
At times, this has meant jumping in and getting our hands dirty. Last weekend, volunteers from WRPS – including President and CEO John Eschenberg – participated in an annual home rebuild. They finished siding, painted, clean up yard debris and performed various indoor repairs. View the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE9Qd7Su6K0&feature=youtu.be

Community - Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS)
WRPS support of community initiatives, focusing on education, improving the quality of life and economic development, is strengthening the community.Last week, members of the public had an opportunity to get first-hand updates on a number of Hanford topics, including cleanup progress, priories, challenges and opportunities with three breakout sessions. The meeting allowed the public to ask questions directly and share their concerns with the TPA leadership.
