Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, and Curry counties are among the 18 in western Oregon that will share $25.6 million in funding from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
A BLM press statement said that the money originated from timber harvest and authorized monies and was awarded as part of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act. They’ll be used to support municipal operations like police and schools.
“Each county receives a payment based on the amount of Oregon and California Revested Lands in that county,” the announcement said. The BLM oversees these mixed-use woods to ensure steady wood supplies.
The figures are as follows:
- The amount for Jackson County is $3.6 million.
- Totaling $3,000,000 in Josephine County.
- County of Klamath: $757,857
- County of Curry: $947,609
The announcement said that “approximately $2.3 million will also be available for cooperative projects designated under the Secure Rural Schools Act,” in addition to the $25.6 million payouts.
