The Columbia-Pacific National Heritage Area, the first National Heritage Area on the West Coast, became official today. President Bush signed the Omnibus Natural Resources bill which included the bill authorizing a feasibility study of our area.
The proposed Columbia-Pacific National Heritage Area includes land in Wahkiakum, Clatsop and Pacific counties and brings parts of our historically and culturally significant areatogether under a common purpose. The study will gather such common elements as the natural, historic, cultural, educational, scenic and recreational resources that are important to our nation's history. The study can take up to three years to complete.
I serve as a board member of the Columbia-Pacific Heritage Area Committee and support this effort to promote our region and to create job and strengthen our local economy.
