Public Meeting for Wrangell Harbor Basin Floats System for RAISE Grant

There will be a Public Meeting on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, starting at 6:00 PM, in the Borough Assembly Chambers on the following matter:

The City and Borough of Wrangell is applying for a financial assistance under the 2024 Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) for the purpose of financing harbor transportation improvements to three facilities within the Wrangell Harbor Basin.  These facilities include Inner Harbor, Reliance Harbor, and Standard Oil Float.  The funds will be used for engineering design, survey, environmental permitting, and construction to replace the Wrangell Harbor Basin Floats System. 

The purpose of the meeting is to engage the community regarding the project for Inner Harbor, Reliance Harbor, and Standard Oil Float.  We are seeking citizen views and community comments on the improvements.  The public meeting will provide information to the public related to the project purpose and need, and consistency with the goals of the Borough’s Comprehensive Plan, project alternatives considered and design features, as well as the social, economic, environmental, and other impacts of the project.  Conceptual drawings of the project will be available for review and discussion with Borough staff and our engineering partner.  The public is encouraged to comment on such items as:

• Social impacts
• Economic impacts
• Environmental impacts
• Service area mobility and access
• Safety Issues
• Alternatives to the project
• Other identified issues

There may be a quorum of the Borough Assembly and Port Commission present, however, there will be no action taken.

Questions concerning the project or project ideas may be submitted prior, during, or after the public meeting, and no later than February 14, 2024.  Please drop off project comments or ideas in writing at City Hall or by email to smiller@wrangell.com.  For more information, contact Steve Miller at 907-305-0336.

The Public is encouraged to attend.
