Dozens of spectators gathered at Noel Wien Library Tuesday afternoon to celebrate the groundbreaking of the library’s renovation and expansion project.
The Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly approved $26.3 million worth of capital spending on Thursday, postponed an ordinance to enact ranked choice voting and agreed to provide a minimum of $49 million to public schools.
An ordinance adopting ranked choice voting, along with a substitute measure that would put it to a vote of the people, will come back before the assembly at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
Seven public works projects were approved for construction, while three projects will go to design, according to a spreadsheet outlining the boroughâs Capital Improvement Program.
The construction projects are part of a 10-year, $218 million plan established last year. The vote to continue momentum on the plan was unanimous.
