The Haines Borough Planning Commission is currently leading a rezoning initiative for the Upper Valley neighborhoods, including the Mosquito Lake Community, Chilkat Lake Road, Haines Highway (Mile 24–28), and Covenant Life. Under the Rezoning Workplan adopted by the Planning Commission on June 18, 2026, we are currently gathering community input to help guide the Commission’s evaluations and eventual recommendations to the Borough Assembly.

As part of this effort, paper surveys are being mailed to property owners in the study area. Additionally, all Haines Borough residents and community members are invited to participate in the survey to share their vision for these neighborhoods. Your feedback is vital to shaping the future of our community. Thank you for your time and input! The Survey will close on September 1st.

How to Participate:

All Haines Borough residents, including those who live outside the Phase I study area, are invited to share their feedback.

  • Online: Take the quick 2-minute digital survey through the link below.
  • In Person: Paper surveys are available at the Borough Administration Office for any resident or community member who did not receive one by mail.
Upcoming Town Hall Meeting:
A Rezoning Town Hall meeting is scheduled for July 30 at 6:30 PM in the Assembly Chambers. You can view the full agenda and meeting details here. We encourage anyone with questions or concerns regarding this process to reach out to the Borough Office. Thank you for your active participation in shaping our community!
