labor and city equipment 1'or most of the work to complete the project, except for necessary cement
work. This boardwalk will improve and not impede any future development plans for the South
Harbor, and will create a safer environment for accessing this area year-round.
The cost of this labor (as well as city permitting and inspection) would make up the City s in-kind
contribution for the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development

Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development fund for a total project

and a request from the Alaska Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development
