## Resource

A gold mine near Juneau’s Herbert Glacier is racing ahead under Alaska’s new FAST-41 fast-track permitting process, sparking fierce local opposition. While the company vows high environmental standards, activists fear the scenic, ecologically rich area—home to popular trails and wildlife—could become an industrial zone. The U.S. Forest Service already halted a nearby cabin project due to potential impacts, and residents are rallying to demand a thorough review before irreversible decisions are made. With expedited reviews potentially cutting timelines by two years, the fate of this fifth FAST-41 project hangs in the balance as communities weigh speed against sustainability.
