Next Community Meeting

The design team found the level of feedback from the first community meeting tremendously helpful, and has been developing a few options for the master plan for the site in addition to an overall master planning document offering more detailed narrative. The team will be back for another community meeting on Thursday, September 10th to discuss these options and ideas with you! Like before, it will be held at Tyotka's, from 6-8pm (to be confirmed). Please mark this on your schedule and plan to be there to help us! Each and every opinion in the community is greatly valued to this process!

Team Kick-off Meeting


Since the last meeting at Tyotka's Elder Center in Kenai, project planning and the development of master plan options for the Ames Road project have been moving along. On Monday, August 24th, the project team met to begin to look at things in more detail, and to begin to envision what 'sustainable design' truly should look like in this part of Alaska. The project team is composed of Wince-Corthell-Bryson civil engineers, RSA Engineering mechanical and electrical engineers, RIM First People architects, and Corvus Design landscape architecture/planning. Using the information gained at our first community meeting, we are developing and refining ideas and options for the next meeting where we will check in with the project to date, gain more input, and brainstorm on what this development will be and look like.
