Alaska Railroad PROJECT OPEN HOUSES to Feature Rail Extension

The Port MacKenzie Rail Extension will be prominently featured at two upcoming open house events hosted by the Alaska Railroad. At the beginning of each year, the railroad organizes several public meetings to allow citizens an opportunity to review and provide comment on capital improvement plans for the coming year. Project fact sheets, display boards and project managers will be on-hand to answer questions from the public. Please join the project partners at one of these open house events:

Now that the Matanuska-Susitna Borough (MSB) and the Alaska Railroad Corporation (ARRC) project team is taking on a background role during the formal environmental review process, we encourage you to participate and stay informed via the Surface Transportation Board’s Port MacKenzie Environmental Impact Statement Web site, www.stbportmacraileis.com, where you’ll find current project information, contact information, schedules and ways to comment during the formal environmental review process.
