Presentation of Institute Property Master Plans

We are headed back to Wrangell next week to unveil several new preferred master plan designs. We hope you can attend these meetings, because we need your input as we will be further refining the designs based on your comments.


Wrangell Institute Master Planning Schedule
Monday, June 13 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM Nolan Center
  • Come see how your seven original Institute Master Planning designs were narrowed down. Provide feedback as we further narrow down and revise to meet the needs and desires of your community. The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program will provide a special presentation on their program and get community feedback about developing a school campus at the Institute Property.
Wednesday, June 15 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM Nolan Center
  • Based on your feedback from Monday night, we will continue to revise and present our updated work to you on Wednesday. Based on your input on Wednesday night, we will narrow to one final Wrangell Institute Master Plan.
Outcomes from the first meeting
There was significant interest in creating a mixed use development neighborhood, with a focus on a variety of housing types (including single family, medium density, and cottage). The neighborhood should be supported by small retail and commercial development, a community center and linked to existing and new recreation opportunities. There is also a strong desire to create an assisted living and senior housing development, explore opportunities for an educational facility, and support/expand the community's economy.
