BLYN — The Jamestown S’Klallam tribe is about to embark on a building project that will mark the tribe’s entrance in the field of dental care.
The tribe will use $348,055 of federal Housing and Urban Development funds to construct a dental office on the bottom floor of a building at the tribal headquarters on Old Blyn Highway, project coordinator Cindy Lowe said Wednesday.
The top floor of the building will house a community center, she said.
The tribe is providing the funding for that part of the construction, Lowe said.
The tribe has targeted late 2003 as the opening date for the tribal dental clinic, which will be open to both non-tribal residents and tribal members.
