The Lutak Dock has been a piece of critical infrastructure in the Haines Borough for decades. It is the main dock by which the community receives our fuel and freight, and the dock badly needs to be rebuilt.
In July 2021, the Borough applied for and received a $20,000,000 RAISE (Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity) Grant from the Department of Transportation, one of only three projects in Alaska to receive this funding. The full Lutak Dock RAISE Grant application is available in the "Project Details" section below.
The project has now been through multiple design phases which did not result in a rebuilt dock. The Borough Assembly recently terminated our previous contracts with Turnagain Marine (for construction) and R&M Engineering (for Owner Advisor services). We are now contracted with Moffatt & Nichol as the Borough's Owner's Representative in the process of creating a design for the Lutak Dock that works for our community and fits within our budget.
