A citizen naming panel in June recommended changing the port’s name from the Port of Alaska to the Don Young Port of Anchorage.
that the former chair of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee “was instrumental in bringing federal dollars to the Port of Alaska.”
Member Kameron Perez-Verdia said the Assembly was provided no information about public comment on the name change that the panel received. It’s also not clear if the panel held a process to seriously consider other names, as indicated“The Port of Alaska is a significant public institution and area for our city and our state. And I’m not saying that ... this should not be named after Don Young.
Just ahead of taking up the proposal to change the port’s name, the Assembly during the Sept. 12 meeting unanimously passed anoverhauling how public places and facilities are named. The measure requires the city to establish a 9-member commission to oversee naming of municipal buildings and other public facilities and places, rather than using small citizen panels.
