CITY OF SEWARD
RESOLUTION NO. 427
WHEREAS, as a result of the March 27, 1964 earthquake and seismic
waves, the City of Seward lost the use of all of its industriall1
zoned land and an important part of the residentially zoned land;
and
WHEREAS, the Second Regular Sessions of the Third State Legislature
did correct this disasterous condition by extending the boundaries
of the City of Seward to include an area capable of receiving
Seward's industries and disaster destroyed homes; and
WHEREAS, the present boundaries of the City of Seward do embrace
an area and population with common interests, common economy and
a common future; and
WHEREAS, House Bill No. 115 would de-annex that area presently
within the boundaries of the City of Seward North and East of
the Resurrection River; and
WHEREAS, part of the industrial relocation has already been sit-
uated near the West and South banks of the Resurrection River, t.hue
enhancing the value of the land across the River as a site for
uncontrolled development related to such industries; and
WHEREAS, such development at the present time would be based on the
same economic feasibility that supports the City of Seward, and
would therefore be extremely detrimental to the economic well-being
of the people of Seward; and
WHEREAS, the area presently included within the boundaries of the
City of Seward provides an opportunity for orderly, yet flexible,
economic development and for modern community development;
