Wrangell, AK, is set to utilize a $25 million federal grant for downtown harbor reconstruction despite a two-year backlog in dredging by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Borough Manager Mason Villarma noted that congressional appropriations will impact the dredging schedule, while the borough plans to advance harbor upgrades and seek additional funding for initial dredging costs. The project must be finalized by year-end, necessitating environmental reviews to secure the grant agreement.
