The Anchorage Assembly approved a measure earlier this week that could be a step toward reviving the controversial Holtan Hills housing project in Girdwood.
a resolution that would have approved the critical land transfer for the Holtan Hills project, if some conditions were met. One condition required that the land bank would use a portion of its Holtan Hills profit to designate at least one lot to a Girdwood entity, for building at least eight units that would be available to residents.
The funding for the budget revision would come from a proposed administration position within the mayor’s office, according to the item. Mike Edgington, co-chair of the Girdwood Board of Supervisors, the local governing body in Girdwood, said it’s possible Holtan Hills could be revived. The five-member board had opposed the original Holtan Hills plan.
