Tribe awards final funding for building
Saturday, January 13, 2007 | No comments posted.
The Dora-Sitkum Rural Fire Protection District has the last $80,547 it needed to build a new fire hall and remodel a building into a joint emergency center, library and community center.
The Coquille Tribal Community Fund recently awarded the grant to help fund the projects at Dora, which is a 20-mile drive east of Myrtle Point.
“ This is a very big milestone in our fund-raising effort,” Richard Kirk, chairman of the district's board of directors, said in a press release. “This grant brings us up to full funding.”
“This is great news. I can't think of a better way to start the new year,” said Fire Chief Doug Backman. “By this time next year, we should be backing trucks into a brand-new building.”
The fire district will add the money to earlier grants to round out the funding.
“Words cannot express my joy,” said Betty Vaughn, fire board member and director of the Dora Public Library. “We have now reached our financial goal of $961,600. I am so grateful for all the support our community has received to make our dream come true.”
Founded by the Coquille Indian Tribe, the Tribal Community Fund has distributed close to $2 million to support projects in the area of education, health, public safety, arts and culture, problem gaming treatment and historic preservation in a five-county region of Southwestern Oregon.
