The Haines Borough appears ready to greenlight a Portage Cove expansion contract next Tuesday to Pacific Pile & Marine for $13.2 million.
Last Tuesday, the borough assembly voted 4-3 against holding a proposed public referendum on the scope of the expansion project. That removed the last opportunity to rethink the broad strokes of the project’s first phase.
This issue is so hot that roughly 80 people attended Tuesday’s special meeting.
