## Resource

The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly is fiercely resisting a state plan to hand over nearly 20,000 acres of prime recreation land near Houston to Alaska’s development agency, arguing that growth should instead focus on already-developed areas like Point MacKenzie and West Susitna — where infrastructure exists and public investment has already been made. While the state proposed using the land for industrial zones, logistics hubs, and data centers, local leaders insist this move undermines community priorities and raises legal questions about whether the transfer meets public purpose requirements. Opposition is mounting from local councils and community groups who fear loss of open space and lack of transparency, as the Assembly’s resolution heads to state officials with a clear message: development can and should happen elsewhere.
