Cascade Point Ferry Terminal: Public Comments Due This Friday

Deadline for public comments on the first phase of a new ferry terminal near Juneau approaches. The Cascade Point Ferry Terminal, proposed by Goldbelt Incorporated, is under review. Despite a signed contract, a no-build option is still being considered. Construction could start next summer, aiming to reduce travel costs and times between Juneau, Haines, and Skagway. However, the project faces criticism from regional officials, conservation groups, and the Alaska Marine Highway Oversight Board. Written and emailed comments must be submitted by this Friday. More opportunities for input are expected in the coming months. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered. Hosted on Acast.
