The Alaska Legislature has advanced a plan to convert a state-owned building into 33 apartments for legislators and staff at an estimated cost of $5.5 million.
Finding rental properties in Juneau can be difficult, particularly during summer special sessions when Alaska’s capital city is full of tourists. Converting the three-storey Assembly Building into 15 one-bedroom apartments and 18 efficiency apartments is planned to help relieve that pressure.
The costs to rent the apartments would be a matter of policy, Geary said. They would likely match thein Juneau and come out of legislators’ per diem expense payments or aides’ housing allowances. In a brief phone interview after the hearing, Geary said the committee had effectively approved the conversion “concept.” Now, contracts are set to be drawn up and put out competitively for bid, she added, to move the process toward construction.
The conversion plans came from a legislative subcommittee, which has met a few times, but several lawmakers felt the process has been rushed.
