BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The State of Alaska, Department of Natural Resources Office of Historic Preservation has
awarded a grant to the City of Seward to restore or replace the historic Hoben Park Fountain.
The community will benefit from the historic Hoben Park restoration project. The Hoben Park
restoration project dates back to 1995 when the Ad Hoc Committee was formed and discussions
were held regarding naming the park. The most recent restoration projects, in the effort to bring
the park back to its historic significance of 1922-1940, were the installation of historic lamp
posts and continuing efforts to refurbish and install historic wrought iron fencing along Hoben
Park’s North and West boundaries. Hoben Park is currently on the National Register of Historic
Places and the Seward Register of Historic Places.
This project will continue to raise awareness of Seward’s history and the ongoing need to
preserve it. These activities are beneficial in maintaining community spirit and to the visitor
industry.
The total project cost is anticipated at $47,300.00 with a Federal share of $28,380.00 and a local
match of $18,920.00, of which, the City’s match for this project will be provided by funds
already dedicated to the Hoben Park Capital Project Fund for the reconstruction
