The Haines Borough won’t assume ownership of the Fort Seward Parade Grounds anytime soon.
After months of discussing a potential acquisition of the historic property from Alaska Indian Arts (AIA), the nonprofit that owns the Parade Grounds, borough manager Annette Kreitzer this week announced that the borough was withdrawing from negotiations.
Since last November, Kreitzer had been working out terms of a land transfer with AIA, which owes nearly $40,000 in taxes on the property.
