The Skagway Borough Assembly unanimously rejected two proposals from Harold Jahn’s Prosperity Investments Alaska to decommission the municipality’s ore loader and dredge its harbor near the municipality’s ore terminal.
The proposals drew attention from the Chilkat Valley when Jahn indicated that Haines might be a potential destination for the equipment.
Skagway assembly members and Mayor Andrew Cremata expressed skepticism about the timeline of Jahn’s proposals, which included the removal of Skagway’s ore loader by mid-April.
