The National Park Service (NPS) is considering the purchase of 1.0 acres of land, and associated existing structures, in Kotzebue, Alaska. The property is located on the west end of Third Avenue (specifically, Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, Block 11, US Survey 2863A), and would be purchased from the NANA Regional Corporation and private individuals. The purchase would include the following existing structures:
" the 19,035 square-foot NANA Museum building,
" an 1,800-2,000 square foot mobile home, and
" a 2000-gallon above-ground fuel storage tank.
In order to determine development constraints for future design and construction on the site, the NPS also would assess subsurface characteristics such as soils and archeological resources.
The purpose of this acquisition is to increase NPS land holdings in Kotzebue to provide a site for a cultural and heritage center and, possibly, NPS and NANA administrative offices. (Actual construction of these facilities would require additional environmental documentation and public review.)
