Work resumes on Pateros winter barn

PATEROS – Passersby on Highway 97 are noticing that work on the public works winter barn located on Industrial Way east of the city has resumed this spring. The initial work that began last fall was suspended over the cold months.

Methow Valley Industrial was hired last year to begin installing the corrugated metal roof supported by four 40-foot storage containers. City Administrator Jord Wilson said he chanced upon the unique combination of weatherproof storage with a domed cover while researching a design that would meet the specific needs of a winter vehicle shelter for city vehicles.
