IF you missed the July meeting, Jason Kohler from the Anchorage Fire Department presented the

“Ready, Set, Go” program

and how to prepare if there is a wildland fire in our community? Check out the information at the link below:

Project Anchorage is an initiative put forward by a coalition of Anchorage businesses and business leaders to make Anchorage a better place to live, work and play. The initiative would implement a 3% sales tax to be dedicated as follows:

• Two thirds of the revenue would go dollar for dollar to lower property taxes, increase housing affordability and make Anchorage a more attractive place to live and do business.
• One third of the revenue would fund projects that make Anchorage a better place to live, work and play.

We would especially like to meet you at our in-person meeting at Rabbit Creek Church – Huffman Campus, 12100 Old Seward Highway, enter the meeting through the double doors.  Free parking and there’s a coffee stand in the parking lot.  Together we will learn about what’s going on in our community and city.  

The Council's purpose is to provide a direct and continuing means of citizen participation in local affairs. You will be able to communicate with: your neighbors, community patrol, assembly member, Anchorage Fire Department, Anchorage School Board, and our District 10-E legislators. This is your opportunity to learn and ask questions.

The draft Agenda will be posted the week of the meeting.

Other items on the agenda include the Alaska Railroad Trail on the Easement, the Eldon Subdivision Water & Sewer improvements, the Clean Slate Strategy and Housing & Homelessness as it relates to our community, and Capital Improvement Projects for 2024/2025.

If you are new to the community or have lived here for decades, this is where you can get involved! No commitment required and it’s free to attend!
