A Meet the Contractor open house for the first phase of improvements planned for Walker Road will be from 5-7 p.m. May 24 at Kaleo Covenant Church, 15900 SW Regatta Lane, Beaverton.

The event, sponsored by Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation (LUT), provides the public with a chance to meet the contractor Pacific Excavation Inc.
