Show Notes
Construction begins on a massive $2.75 billion upgrade at the Don Young Port of Alaska, focusing on Terminal One. The project aims to replace aging infrastructure, boost shipping capabilities, and handle most inbound cargo for the state. Despite funding concerns, the project is seen as a statewide necessity, with Anchorage approving $1.1 billion in revenue bonds. The upgrade, set to finish in 2029, will involve new 240-foot pilings and could lead to increased surcharges on goods. The first step, a petroleum terminal fix, was completed in 2022.
