AMHS Comment Period Over…
by Jenny Chissus – thanks Darlene for the head’s up on this!
The comment period is over – but there is still time to voice your comments about the proposed schedule for the AMHS via teleconference. As noted below, the teleconference will be on this upcoming Tuesday, March 27th, at 1:30pm for the southwest and southcentral runs. As it is proposed, looks like Seldovia will be serviced only once a week from November through April. Check out the proposed schedule here.
Thanks to the Gerry Willard Generation Plant!
