$1.8 million to the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians, Pauma Valley, San Diego County, California, to fund roadway improvements to the Pauma Valley Recreational Area of the La Jolla Band of Luiseno Indians’ Reservation, which was damaged during severe flooding in 2010 and led to significant job loss. The reconstruction of the damaged roadways increases the safety of the campground, enhances recreational tourism opportunities in the community, and improves the Tribe’s potential for significant economic gain. This investment is part of a $2 million project that the grantee estimates will create 22 new jobs.
