A new 24-lot subdivision in North Bend named Miner’s Ridge began construction in mid-October. The city of North Bend issued a clearing and grading permit for the project located north of the 461st Place S.E. / S.E. 137th Street intersection on the east side of North Bend.

The private development by John Day Homes includes construction of two public roads, water, sewer and storm drainage utilities, landscaping and a small private park. At the earliest, homes will be built in 2015.
