SEATTLE -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Seattle District and the Bonneville Power Administration are postponing the Albeni Falls Dam community open house originally scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 7, in Sandpoint, Idaho, due to the federal government shutdown on Wednesday, Oct.1.
All federal agencies were directed to suspend non-essential operations, including community outreach events such as the open house.
While USACE leadership understands the importance of communicating and engaging with Idaho and Washington communities and stakeholders, we sincerely regret this change and apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. We value community engagement and are committed to rescheduling.
A new date for the open house will be announced after government operations resume. The public is encouraged to monitor the USACE Seattle District website and social media for the latest updates.
