Re: Support for the Hoh Tribe’s Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) request
Dear Congresswoman Cantwell,
On behalf of Jefferson County, I write in support of the Hoh Tribe’s Congressionally Directed Spending
(CDS) request to construct a water and wastewater system for the Hoh Highlands Relocation project.
The Hoh Tribe’s Lower Village, including housing and other community facilities, is located in a Tsunami
Zone and has been impacted by numerous severe weather incidents including flooding. As a result, the
Hoh Tribe has been working to relocate housing and other community buildings to the Hoh Highlands, an
area outside of the Tsunami Zone. As part of this project, the Hoh Tribe requires the construction of a
new water and wastewater system to accommodate new housing and other facilities.
Jefferson County fully supports the Hoh Tribe’s efforts to relocate their community to a safer location and
supports the Hoh Tribe’s efforts to secure funding to complete this important project.
Sincerely,
JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
