Welcome
Permitting has been approved, and design work is substantially complete for the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) West Anchorage Snow Disposal Project. The project’s Site Selection Study, Design Study Report, and other supporting documents are available in the Project Documents section below.
During fall 2021 and summer 2022, the project team hosted a virtual public meeting, two info kiosks, and an in-person open house that focused on the design and permitting phases of the project. These engagement opportunities kept the community informed and gathered feedback from interested citizens. The Phase Three and Phase Four Public Outreach Summaries are available for viewing in the Project Documents section below.
All upcoming public engagement opportunities will be posted on the events calendar.
