Strahorn Hanford Alliance Reaches Night Courthouse Settlement
Strahorn and Columbia Development interests and landowners settled who holds river right of way for Priest Rapids water power. Negotiations at Ephrata courthouse produced a compromise with payments from the “Great Silence” faction. Plans call for an eight mile canal delivering 72 foot head to generate 60 000 horsepower and irrigate 150 000 acres, with locks and navigation via the river. Twenty-nine or so condemnation suits were partially resolved, signaling Strahorn influence and a major regional power plant project.
