Haines Borough Mayor Stephanie Scott has said she wants at least one municipal building heated with wood in her lifetime.
The borough assembly supersized Scott’s dream Tuesday, approving a renewable energy grant request for money to install wood-pellet boilers in the Haines School’s voc-tech building, swimming pool, Human Resources building, Visitor’s Center and borough offices.
The amount of the request will be determined before it’s submitted to the Alaska Energy Authority in two weeks.
