~ The City Manager of Juneau has released a draft proposal for the allocation of cruise ship Marine Passenger Fee (MPF) proceeds for the upcoming year. The public is invited to review and comment on the proposal until March 25, according to a press release from the City and Borough of Juneau.
The draft proposal outlines recommendations for how to spend funds from various fees, including the $5 City and Borough of Juneau Marine Passenger Fee, $3 CBJ Port Development Fee, and $5 State of Alaska Commercial Passenger Vessel Fee. It is estimated that approximately 1.65 million passengers will visit Juneau this year, resulting in an anticipated revenue of $21.5 million in fiscal year 2025.
In December, the city solicited project proposals from both city departments and members of the public, including businesses and those in the visitor industry. The Tourism Manager has recommended 28 funding allocations for operating, grant, and capital projects. These include initiatives such as enhanced Capital Transit service to Mendenhall Valley, improvements to Marine Park, installation of public wi-fi downtown, funding for shore power, and a low-interest loan program for tourism operators to invest in clean energy equipment.
