Huffman, Interior Secretary Jewell to Tour Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands
Washington—Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael) will join Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell to tour the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands on California’s North Coast this Friday, November 8 and will hold a public meeting at 2:00 p.m. PT.
Congressman Huffman will participate in a meeting with Sec. Jewell, stakeholders, and members of the public to discuss the community’s vision for the continued protection of Point Arena Stornetta Public Lands, a significant and scenic area along the Mendocino coastline in Northern California.
In July the House of Representatives unanimously passed Rep. Huffman’s bill to expand the California Coastal National Monument by 1,255 acres through the addition of Mendocino’s Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands. This was Rep. Huffman’s first bill introduced as a U.S. Congressman. A companion bill, S. 61, was also introduced in the Senate by Senators Boxer and Feinstein.
