Economic Development Board Workshop

The Economic Development Board public workshop will be held Wednesday, May 17^th, 2023 @ 5:30PM in the Borough Assembly Chambers located in City Hall. No formal action will be taken. 

The workshop will provide the Board an opportunity to listen to the insights and experience of Ryan Naylor, a PhD student who has been conducting research on the perceived impacts of Tourism. More specifically, Mr. Naylor is exploring 1) how tourism impacts the local culture of the community, 2) how tourism integrates into existing livelihoods, and 3) how the community can manipulate tourism to ensure appropriate forms of community development. He is repeating this process in Ketchikan and Petersburg to understand how differences in cruise tourism volume influence each community and identify community- and region-specific patterns. Mr. Naylor is trying to ensure his research can inform local decision-making and has now returned for a community engagement trip to explore preliminary ideas and explore ways to give back to the community. 

Meeting information will be published for public access prior to the meeting. The meeting packet may be obtained through the calendar on the Borough website at https://www.wrangell.com/calendar.

The public is encouraged to attend. If you would like to submit a comment the Department Director or to the Commission, please email your comments to kthomas@wrangell.com.
