Manager to seek assembly authorization to accept roughly $9 million for rock‑slide project

Skagway Municipality Advance Committee · August 5, 2026

Summary

Staff told the advance committee the municipality will ask the assembly to authorize the manager to execute a grant agreement for roughly $9 million in state CPV funds to support a rock‑slide project; the municipality originally requested $9.3 million.

The manager told the advance committee on Aug. 5 that the municipality was awarded approximately $9,000,000 from state distributions (CPV reserve) toward a rock‑slide project and that the assembly will be asked to authorize the manager to execute the grant agreement at the next meeting. "We asked for $9,300,000, and that was based on what we thought the cost of the project was in February," the manager said, noting construction cost increases since the application.

Staff said the award comes from a distribution intended for passenger-vessel-related projects and was drawn from a state reserve account that communities requested. Manager recommended a motion to authorize the manager to sign the grant agreement at the full assembly meeting so the municipality can proceed with project planning and any required matching activities.
