Development Opportunities:
If you are an entrepreneur looking to start your own business, proprietor of an established business in search place to build your home office and/or light industry that is in close proximity to the I-5 corridor, give Tenino a look.  With the installation of Tenino’s new sewer system, the availability of both vacant commercial lots and unoccupied storefronts in Tenino’s downtown core and the growing population of the area, now is a great time to invest in Tenino.
