Juneau Assembly: Divests from Gondola, Focuses on Infrastructure
The Juneau Assembly is set to finalize a major shift in direction regarding the Eaglecrest gondola project, divesting from the plan and paying back a ten million dollar investment to Goldbelt Incorporated. This decision follows a committee vote last month and marks a complete reversal from the city’s original commitment to the mountain development. The projects budget ballooned from under ten million dollars to over thirty-seven million dollars due to rising construction costs, import tariffs, and the need for extra parts, making it financially unsustainable. The Assembly is now focused on cleaning up the financial fallout and addressing urgent infrastructure and community needs, such as addressing recurring glacial flooding in the Mendenhall Valley and supporting families struggling with a childcare shortage. The meeting kicks off at six oclock at City Hall, with residents having the opportunity to testify on these ordinances or bring up other concerns in person or through a virtual link.
