The Anchorage Assembly late Tuesday killed the controversial Holtan Hills housing project in Girdwood, citing a lack of trust in the administration of Mayor Dave Bronson to successfully implement the development.
Signs in many locations around Girdwood say"Halt Holtan HIlls," a proposed housing development, on July 19, 2022.
Plans called for the creation of more than 100 homes, condominiums and multifamily units northwest of Alyeska Ski Resort, with the city and the developer splitting the profits. “Firsthand reports of incompetence in the mayor’s office really gives me no faith that this current administration will implement this ordinance in a way that does anything meaningful,” she said.“I do not believe that Mayor Bronson will work to bring the parties together to see this project to fruition,” she said. “I have serious doubts that Mayor Bronson can even get this project off the ground.”The vote wrapped up shortly before 10 p.m. Tuesday.
She said members of the Assembly earlier in the evening had expressed their support for housing with a resolution designed to identify additional land bank parcels that are available for development in Girdwood.
