Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson is planning to pay a contractor roughly $2.5 million in a settlement for work it did on a canceled homeless shelter and navigation center.
The area where the city had planned to build a 29,000 square foot navigation center for homeless adults. The Anchorage Assembly voted down funding the construction of the project in October 2022.
Now the city wants to settle with the contractor for roughly $2.5 million for the work it already did. But Assembly vice chair Chris Constant says that can’t happen. Constant says the city can still issue the settlement to Roger Hickel Contracting, but the Assembly has to approve it first.
