ABOUT US
Wrangell’s Capital Projects department is responsible for facilitating restoration, improvements, and additions to the Borough’s permanent investments. This framework of investments serves to support the Wrangell economy and provide community infrastructure while ensuring efficient allocation of public funds and revenues.
Wrangell’s Capital Projects department manages projects through all phases of design, construction, and inspection. The department also coordinates the consultant selection, construction contractor procurement, and project delivery for all capital improvement construction projects.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PRIORITY (CIP) LIST
Each year the City and Borough of Wrangell develops a long-term Capital Improvements Priority (CIP) list. This list is subject to change from year to year, based on continual changes within the community. The CIP list includes projects designed to improve, acquire, repair, construct, and maintain major capital facilities, infrastructure, and equipment. Many projects address infrastructure needs in a specific area while several projects have a regional or borough-wide benefit for all residents. The CIP is submitted to the State Legislature and the Governor for funding consideration. This year's list was reviewed at a work session with the Borough Assembly on January 31, 2012 and adopted by the Borough Assembly on February 14, 2012.
STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (STIP) LIST
The State of Alaska’s four-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) provides for transportation system preservation and development. The STIP requires communities to plan for capital facilities and transportation elements to ensure that there is an adequate level of services and facilities related to state and local highways, bridges, ferries, and public transportation. The Borough’s STIP List addresses these transportation elements that provide the framework for a long-range transportation plan.
