Multi-Agency Center in Seward, Alaska
Kenai Fjords National Park » Multi-Agency Center in Seward, Alaska » Document List
Kenai Fjords National Park (KEFJ) and the Chugach National Forest (CNF) are considering the purchase and development of a multi-agency visitor and administration facility on two sites containing about 2.8-acres in Seward, Alaska. A 2.4 acre site containing the 5,900 square foot K.M. Rae Building would be rehabilitated and expanded to provide visitor services, administrative space, and parking for both agencies. A 0.4-acre site about 1/2 block northeast of the main parcel would be developed to provide supplemental parking.
The purpose of the action is to provide co-located administrative and visitor facilities for both Kenai Fjords National Park and Chugach National Forest that meets the current and future needs of both agencies in a location that is visible and readily accessible to the public. The facility would improve visitor services by providing a visitor contact facility with adequate space to conduct public business and/or where visitors can become informed about the varied recreational opportunities and resources available in the region at a single unified location. The facility would also reduce agency costs by providing operating efficiencies in cooperated reception services, mailroom functions, phone system, computer system, and other necessary services combined to improve visitor service.
This project was canceled because the 2.4 acre site proposed for development of the multi-agency center was not available for purchase by the NPS.
