Washington County's Department of Land Use & Transportation, Tualatin Valley Water District and Hillsboro Water invite the public to attend a project open house on September 24 to learn more about the county's 124th Avenue extension project and the Willamette Water Supply Program.

The 124th Avenue project will construct an interim two-lane arterial between Tualatin-Sherwood Road and Grahams Ferry Road.
