Wrangell’s housing market is cramped, and local officials see the 134-acre former Wrangell Institute property as a way to relieve the pressure. 

Wrangell’s borough government hopes the former mill site – one of the few undeveloped deepwater ports in Southeast Alaska – could bring an economic boom to town. The question is: what will be the best use for the property?

Wrangell’s borough assembly will hold its final meeting of the year Tuesday (December 20), and there’s a lot on the table. The assembly could add two new borough positions, make strides on several major projects, and approve last year’s audit. 

Local businesses will be open late after the tree-lighting ceremony to kick off holiday shopping.
