Boundary Expansion TCCI 2016
Info
The MatSu Borough is striving to encompass all its land in Community Councils.
The Talkeetna Community Council created a Boundary Committee in the summer of 2016 to look into an expansion to the East. The committee created a TalkeetnaFAQ document to explain the pros and cons of an expansion.
Matanuska-Susitna Borough Code, 2.76 Community Councils, requires that the borough conduct a periodic review of community council boundaries and make adjustments as necessary. Upon the borough’s notification to the Talkeetna Community Council that this review was underway, the Talkeetna Community Council submitted a request to the borough to amend their boundaries to match those of the1997 Talkeetna Comprehensive Plan, which would increase it from the existing 25 square miles, to the proposed 290 square miles.
The Talkeetna Community Council's Boundary Committee keeps monitoring the Boroughs activities with regards to the boundary adjustments, but is not actively meeting anymore.
