Legislation to Spur Economic Development for Puyallup Tribe Heads to President Biden’s Desk
Press Release
Issues: Indigenous Peoples
“Bringing this land into trust will help the Puyallup Tribe pursue economic development on the Tacoma waterfront, expand critical infrastructure, and open up tax benefits for the entire community—not to mention that this bill will also restore part of the Tribe’s ancestral homeland, which matters a great deal. I was proud to work with my colleagues on this legislation and am thrilled that our bill is now headed to President Biden’s desk. Ensuring that Tribal communities have what they need to grow and thrive is an important responsibility of the federal government and something I will always take seriously.”
