The next SPUD Committee meeting will be in the 28th of July, and will be held at the Borough building at 6:00 pm.
Normally the meetings are held at the Lazy Mountain Bible Church, but it was unavailable this time. The meeting will be held in the conference room right next to the Borough Assembly room; simply walk into the building, go to the lower level, and take a left.
As always, the meeting is open to the public, and everyone is encouraged to attend!

The SPuD planning team will be meeting with Eileen Probasco from the borough to review comments on the SPuD draft document. They will be meeting from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Lazy Mountain Bible Church.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend!
Eileen Probasco couldn’t make the May 20th date, so there is rescheduling going on. The planning team will most likely be meeting either the 25th or 26th of May a the Lazy Mountain Bible Church at 6:00 pm. As soon as a concrete date is known, it shall be posted here and on the calendar!

The Borough is currently accepting public comment on the Lazy Mountain SPuD, and will be doing so until May 6th. If you have any comments you would like to submit, you can email them to:
Or send via USPS:
Matanuska Susitna Borough
Planning and Land Use Department
Planning Division
350 East Dahlia Avenue,
Palmer, AK, 99645
Or Fax to:
(907) 745-9876
Make sure to do it no later than 5:00 PM on Thursday, May 6th, because that’s when the Borough will stop accepting comments.
