We are looking for local residents who are interested in having their opinions on the proposed airport included in our project website. Let those outside of Angoon know what this project means to you. All perspectives are welcome!

If you would like to share your perspective, we will be conducting brief video and audio interviews at the ACA Community Center from 1:30 to 4:00 PM on July 9, 2009 and 1:30 to 3:00 PM on July 10, 2009.  We hope to post these interviews on our project website as a way to let the public know what people in Angoon think about the project. If you wish your comments to remain confidential, please let us know so that we can record your interview in an appropriate manner. We want to hear from everyone, regardless of their opinion! Unfortunately, we cannot provide financial compensation for the interviews, but it’s a great way to let others know your point of view. We hope to see you there!

                        Charles Jim, Trevor Frederickson, Robert Hunter and Terrence Jamestown did Angoon proud during their weatherization technician training  (May 11-15).  Here are the long awaited photos of our hardworking guys during the Sitka training, compliments of photographer Mike Tucker of Alaskaworks, who also filmed a documentary of their program.

                       The training was sponsored by AlaskaWorks Partnership, Alaska Housing Finance Corporation and Denali Commission. Angoon Business Center assisted with advertising, recruitment and processing local applications and UAS registrations. Air travel to and from Sitka, as well as hotel lodging and food were completely covered by the program. Each trainee also received a daily stipend. The week-long course covered: Concepts of building science; use of the Minneapolis Blower Door for detection of air leaks; hands-on practice using tools and materials specific to weatherization;  practical trades math; drug and alcohol awareness; as well as personal responsibility and leadership travel.  Ed Flanagan (Department of Labor) complimented Angoon trainees for their hard work and looks forward to seeing them attend further trainings.                

                    Since their return to Angoon, Trevor is working for IPEC at the power station, Terrence is working for the City of Angoon, and Charles has been commerical fishing.
