It covers 1,421 acres of land that will be turned over to the local government, roughly 10 percent of the borough’s entitlement. The Division of Mining, Land and Water on July 28 finalized its preliminary finding on these parcels. They’re spread out around the borough, from Cape Fanshaw, to Thomas Bay, to Duncan Canal and Woodpecker Cove. There are also selections at Falls Creek and Frederick Point.
The July 28 decision postpones the transfer of 240 acres and denies the borough 143 acres that it sought.

The state of Alaska has issued the first of several expected preliminary decisions to transfer some land to the Petersburg borough. It’s part of a large land entitlement that goes along with the creation of the borough government in 2013.
When Petersburg expanded its boundaries in 2013, the size of the municipal government’s state land entitlement increased. Then it increased a whole lot more with the passage of a 2017 state law. Most of of that land has yet to change hands and it’s a long process. But this decision identifies 1,452 acres the state proposes to turn over to the municipal government.
