Summary

Description

This is a proposal to construct a multiagency facility to house the High Desert Interagency Partnership. The facility would be on federally owned land in Hines, Oregon where the present offices of the Burns and Snow Mountain Ranger districts are located. All agency offices and warehouse space would be at this location except for Fish and Wildlife Service. They would have only a branch office at this site, and would continue to maintain their headquarters office at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. A Board of Directors has been formed to oversee the development of this project. The members are the local managers of the agencies involved as well as two people from the Forest Service Regional Office. A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed by the respective State and Regional agency heads.
