Then within 60 days, the group will send to the Departments of Interior, Commerce and Agriculture a joint letter identifying the prioritized projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy agreeing to common objectives and shared goals for the Klamath Basin restoration, we can move forward together \u2014 as a unified front \u2014 to secure critical funding needed for our region,\u201d said Paul Simmons, Executive Director of KWUA. \u201cThis cohesiveness creates a better chance for our projects to catch eyes at the federal and state levels and receive funding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a great announcement and a sign that the work put in over the last couple of years was worthwhile,\u201d stated Klamath County Commissioner Derrick DeGroot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTribes and irrigators coming together to find solutions for the Klamath Basin that moves all of our communities and local economies on a path toward long term stability.
