The project is located at 2900 Tongass Hwy, Saxman AK 99901.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The AHFC certifies to HUD that Bryan Butcher in his capacity as Certifying Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the AHFC to use Program funds.
