October bond vote will shape Garden City’s role in Skagway’s RV capacity
Summary
Commissioners said a municipal bond on the October ballot will determine whether Garden City can be redeveloped as a long‑term RV park; if the bond fails, the municipality may need to maintain or retrofit existing park infrastructure, a multi‑million‑dollar undertaking.
Commissioner (speaker 5) and others tied any long‑term solution for the displaced RV residents to an October municipal bond to fund Garden City redevelopment. "Garden City only goes forward if the voters approve a bond in October," the commissioner said, noting the project’s scale and capital requirements.
Commissioner (speaker 5) estimated a full utilities redo at Garden City—electrical, water, sewer—could cost about $2,000,000. Several participants said if the bond fails, the municipality may have to treat Garden City as the primary RV park and invest in infrastructure or pursue other options, such as reconfiguring Pullen Creek to accommodate more seasonal spots. Commissioners emphasized uncertainties in costs, zoning and permitting that affect the viability and timeline of Garden City as a solution.
