We welcome you heartily to the his
toric city of Alaska and are glad you
have come to inspect the site of the pro
posed lumber and pulp mill.
Sitkans have long worked for indus
trial development of our forest resour
ces and, to that end, have cooperated
fully with all interested industrialists
and Forest Service officials on their
many trips here for the purpose of ob
taining data relative to the site, timber,
water supply, transportation and facili
ties of Sitka.
To prepare the area for develop
ment, a fine access road has been con- t
structed to the site. The City of Sitka has
made orderly plans for the problems of
expansion by construction of a large
new grade school, a new 25-bed com
munity hospital and a seaplane ter
mind.
.it has engaged the services of a
well-known Stateside engineering firm
to prepare a complete planning survey
for growth - including such planning as
widening of streets, arterial highways,
new sewers and water mains, increased
water supply, zoning and overall city
development. The Sitka Public Utilities
board has worked for several years on
planning a power supply adequate for a
greatly-increased population. Private
interests have purchased and developed
new tracts of land, on which construc
tion of new homes can be undertaken to
provide badly-needed housing. To this
end a modern apartment building has
already been erected.
Last year a total of 622 letters were
written by Sitka businessmen and resi
dents to congressmen or senators urging
the utilization of the timber resources of
the Sitka area. •
Local residents have done all in
their power to aid all interested groups
and Forest Service men through the in
vestigation period. The Sitka Chamber
of Commerce has arranged several re
ceptions and dinners to give these men
an opportunity to meet and know local
residents.
