Urban Program
(Continued From Page 6)
Most spectacular project in the
State, according to Fischer, is the
Fairbanks central downtown pro
ject, which is now entering the ac
tive construction stage.
“It appears entirely probable
that more than $3,500,000 in new
construction will get under way
in the Fairbanks downtown project
before late fall,” said Fischer.
The first urban renewal project
in Alaska and largest to date in
total estimated cost, the Fairbanks
program involves construction of a
new municipal heart on an 8.3 acre
tract that once housed the City’s
notorious "line.” When completed
it will boast a new Municipal Com
posite Building, Post Office, fire
station, Safeway and Woolworth
stores and other businesses.
The State’s urban renewal pro
ject nearest completion, according
to Paul J. Wild, ASHA Director
of Urban Renewal, is the Govern
ment Hill Project in Anchorage.
Involving 37 acres and devoted
largely to construction of new
homes, the Government Hill pro
ject will near completion this year
with acquisition of two parcels of
land from the Bureau of Land
Management.
Acquisition of land in the 33
acre Westchester project area in
Anchorage is more than half com
pleted with purchase of 50 parcels.
Offers to sell have been obtained
for many of the 40 remaining to be
acquired.
Planned for use as a grade
school, the 13 acres in the Northern
Lights project in Anchorage en
tered the acquisition stage on June
1. A total of 29 parcels must be
purchased before the active de
velopment stage is entered.
The Swan Creek project in Sitka
involves six acres. Acquisition of
26 parcels needed to prepare the
site for urban renewal is expected
to start late this fall.
Still in the preliminary stages,
the Barnette project in Fairbanks
involves 35 acres and 75 parcels
adjacent to the interior City’s cen
tral downtown project.

any previous project, Anchorage’s
proposed 96-acre Eastchester pro
ject is still in the preliminary plan
ning stage.
Wild emphasized that urban re
newal does not necessarily mean a
project area will be totally cleared.
He pointed to the new Barnette
project in Fairbanks as one in
wfnich some existing structures
meet FHA standards and will re
main. Buildings which it is eco
nomically feasible to improve to
meet standards and the overall
plan will also be retained.
“Urban renewal projects are in
itiated by individual Alaskan com
munities which retain basic control
over planning and development
through specific approvels re
quired at various stages of the pro
gram,” said Wild.
“Federal loan funds are made
available through the Housing and
Home Finance Agency for plan
ning, acquisition, clearance and im
provement of blighted and sub
standard areas.
“The benefits of urban renewal
are far-reaching and enduring. In
addition to eliminating specific
sub-standard conditions, the sub
sequent development of an area
encourages upgrading of adjacent
areas, stabilizes real estate values
and increases tax revenue,” Wild
stated.
