Haines and Skagway both oppose Cascade Point ferry terminal. Juneau hasn't taken a stance.

Juneau's city leaders remain focused on other issues as the debate over the Cascade Point Ferry Terminal heats up. The proposed terminal, owned by Goldbelt Incorporated, has sparked controversy, with neighboring towns Haines and Skagway openly against the project. The state, however, is moving forward, signing a $28 million contract and planning construction for next summer. The project could potentially benefit a new gold mine in the area, with Canadian mining company Grande Portage eyeing the site for an ore terminal. Public comments on the project's first phase are being collected until late November. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered.
