Two prominent Alaska families have proposed building a lodge with up to 150 rooms at the state-owned airport in Girdwood, along with an airplane hangar and a sports facility for skiers and hikers.
Treadwell said the lodge could support tourists flying to Prince William Sound or taking advantage of nearby hiking and skiing trails.
Treadwell said he’s been considering the idea of building a lodge in Girdwood for years, after the state pitched the idea at air shows. At the Girdwood supervisors board meeting, Edgington stressed that because municipal land-use codes would not apply to the project, the developers would not be required to seek the community’s input once the current comment period ends.
Longtime resident Jacky Graham, who lives near Moose Meadow, said she’s certain the hotel will be well-run, given Jon Faulkner’s experience with the 150-room Land’s End Resort.But she worries about light pollution near the park, among other issues, she said.
