Letter of Support—Jefferson County Fairgrounds Pump Track Project
The Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners is pleased to offer our support for the Jefferson
County Fairgrounds Association's efforts to develop a pump track at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds
in Port Townsend, Washington.
This project represents a meaningful investment in youth recreation,outdoor activity, and community
connection. A pump track at the fairgrounds would create a welcoming space for riders of all ages and
skill levels while complementing the fairgrounds' role as a year-round community gathering place. The
project also has the potential to draw visitors to the region, supporting local tourism and businesses
while providing healthy recreation opportunities for residents.
Jefferson County recognizes the Fairgrounds Association's commitment to developing projects that
enhance the fairgrounds and benefit the broader community. We appreciate the collaboration and
community support that has gone into advancing this proposal and look forward to seeing the positive
impact it will bring to Jefferson County.
We are proud to support the Fairgrounds Association's efforts to bring this project to fruition.
Sincerely,
Heather Dudley-Nollette,Dist. 1 Heidi Eisenhour, Dist.2 Greg Brotherton,Dist.3.Chair
