Updated at: 12:01 pm

Hawkins Companies officials on Monday are expected to ask Whitman County commissioners to extend public infrastructure to the site of its proposed 700,000-square-foot shopping development on the Pullman-Moscow Highway, just west of the Idaho state line.

Commissioners will meet with Hawkins officials at 2:30 p.m. in the commissioners’ chambers in the Whitman County Courthouse. The meeting is open to the public.

Commissioner Michael Largent said Hawkins representatives likely will ask for infrastructure investments in roads, sewer and water to make its development possible.

“A lot is at stake with this development and what happens there could potentially have a large, long-term impact on the Pullman-Moscow corridor and economic growth in our community well into the future,” Largent stated in an e-mail to the Daily News.
