Wrangell Assembly approves 45‑acre land lease to SEAPA for solar field
Summary
The Wrangell Borough Assembly on May 12 approved a 45‑acre land lease to the Southeast Alaska Power Authority to install a solar field aimed at improving grid reliability and stability; the resolution passed on a polled vote after a staff presentation and no public opposition.
The Wrangell Borough Assembly voted May 12 to authorize a land lease to the Southeast Alaska Power Authority (SEAPA) for 45 acres to install a solar field aimed at improving grid reliability and stability.
Borough Manager Villarma presented the item, saying the lease would allow SEAPA to develop a grid reliability and stability project and described what the solar field would do for Wrangell. "This item was to approve a land lease to SEAPA for 45 acres for the purpose of installing a Solar Field project," Villarma reported. No members of the public spoke during the public hearing on the item.
A motion to approve Resolution No. 05‑26‑2045 passed by polled vote (M/S Ottesen/Mach). The resolution authorizes the land lease; the Assembly did not record individual roll‑call tallies in the transcript beyond the polled approval notation.
The approved lease clears a key local step for the project; next steps in the development and any required permitting or construction schedule were not specified in the meeting record.
