Show Notes
The Juneau Assembly voted to sign an agreement with the federal government to buy out View Drive, a street frequently damaged by glacial outburst floods. This move aims to purchase eighteen homes, many affected by last summers record flood. The Natural Resources Conservation Service will fund three-quarters of the costs, while residents will cover the remaining quarter. The total cost could reach twenty-five million dollars, but fewer properties could still proceed. The assembly passed a motion for the agreement, but an ordinance is needed to approve up to five hundred fifty-eight thousand dollars for property appraisals. The mayor warned that city funds might stop after appraisals, leaving residents to handle more costs.
