Details:
The Department of Transportation and Public Facilities administers the Harbor Facility Grant Program. Port or barge facilities are not eligible for the grant program.
This grant program is funded on an annual basis at the discretion of the Alaska Legislature and consists of two tiers, Tier I and II.
- The first tier has priority and consists of “Major Maintenance and Repair” of a harbor facility that was previously owned by the state and now is municipally or regional housing authority owned. A harbor facility may only receive one Tier I grant regardless if it is for all or only a portion of that harbor facility. The boundaries of a Tier I harbor facility will be based on the Department’s 1995 Alaska Harbor Directory or as determined by the Department. Once a Tier I eligible harbor facility receives a Tier I grant, the status of that harbor facility changes from Tier I to Tier II henceforth. After all eligible Tier I projects have been selected, the Department will consider Tier II projects.
- The second tier consists of all other municipally or regional housing authority owned harbor facilities, including construction of a new harbor facility. Harbor facilities which have already received a Tier I grant can only compete for Tier II grants. Tier II grants may comprise “New Construction, Expansion, or Major Maintenance and Repair” of a harbor facility. A harbor facility is eligible for multiple Tier II grants.
