‘Scenario Choosing’ workshops for Juneau’s Comprehensive Plan start Sept. 30

(City and Borough of Juneau press release)

The public is invited to participate in “Scenario Choosing” workshops, the next round of the City and Borough of Juneau’s Comprehensive Plan update. Using community input from last winter’s “Juneau Futures” activities, the “Scenario Choosing” workshops will present a series of unique growth scenarios that explore what Juneau could look like in the future. Provide your input by participating in a workshop in person or online. 

There will be four in-person workshops from late September to late October. Space is limited, so sign up to reserve your spot soon. Workshops will run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the following dates:  

• Wednesday, Sep. 30 at the Douglas Library 

• Thursday, Oct.1 at Generations Southeast 

• Wednesday, Oct.14 at the University of Alaska Southeast Recreation Center 

• Thursday, Oct. 22 at the Mendenhall Valley Library 

The online workshop is available now through Oct. 31. Participants do not have to sign up to participate; they can take the workshop and submit feedback online.  

Feedback provided in the “Scenarios Choosing” workshops will inform the creation of Juneau’s next Comprehensive Plan, a big-picture guide that will help the City and Borough of Juneau decide how to grow and develop over the next 20 years. During this workshop, participants will be presented with four potential growth models showcasing different mixes of housing, economic growth, walkability, and infrastructure costs. Both online and in-person workshops will cover the same material and provide the same opportunities to provide input.
