ASTORIA, OR — Clatsop County will receive $1,031,000 in federal funding following passage of a federal spending bill that cleared the U.S. Senate last week. The funding was secured with the support of Oregon’s congressional delegation, including U.S. Representative Suzanne Bonamici, U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley, and U.S. Senator Ron Wyden.
The funding is part of the federal Community Project Funding process and will be used to replace and upgrade an outdated public safety communications system. This will allow Clatsop County first responders to better communicate with each other and the public in the event of an emergency.
Representative Bonamici championed the request in the U.S. House of Representatives, where the project was included in the bill’s initial draft before it ultimately advanced to the Senate.
“This funding reflects the strong partnership between Clatsop County and our federal delegation,” said Clatsop County Board Chair Mark Kujala. “We appreciate Representative Bonamici’s leadership in moving this request forward, as well as the continued support from Senators Merkley and Wyden in delivering resources that directly benefit our community.”
Clatsop County is prepared to implement the project consistent with federal requirements.
More information about the Community Project Funding process is available through the offices of Oregon’s congressional delegation.
