Detailed Redistricting Maps and Post Plan Public Hearing Schedule

[UPDATED April 30, 2020:  None of the links in this post is any good any more.  One suggestion for the next redistricting board is that they work something out with the State and/or Legislature or with the State Library to set up a website that will serve the Board and then be preserved into the future.  There was lots of useful information for the next Board and the public as we look ahead to a Board forming next year.  I haven't checked links on other posts about the Redistricting Board.  If they were to sites other than the Board's, they may still be up.]

I'm in Chicago and don't have time at the moment to look at these carefully, but I did get a message saying they have posted detailed maps.  So you can look now to see where you district has ended up in the draft plan.  Remember - this is the proposed, not the final plan.  So check out what they did in case you have issues.   In the Board's Plan 1, my census block has been carved out of my old district 24 and put into another district.  I have to check on the other one.

Board Posts Detailed District and Regional Maps for Draft Redistricting Plans

Anchorage, AK - Today, the Alaska Redistricting Board has posted detailed maps for each of the Board's draft redistricting plans that were adopted on April 13, 2011.  Maps for House Districts and major regions of the state for both "Board Option 1" and "Board Option 2" are available for download at http://www.akredistricting.org. Additional maps, data, reports, plans submitted by the public and other materials will be posted to the Alaska Redistricting Board website by staff over the course of the redistricting process, which will culminate with the adoption of a final plan in mid-June of this year.  They've also posted a schedule of public hearings, again starting in Anchorage.  I won't be back for that one, so the rest of you should go.   Public Hearing Schedule      Monday, April 18 Community:  Anchorage, AK Location:  Anchorage Legislative Information Office Building, Room 220  Time:  2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Tuesday, April 19 Community:  Fairbanks, AK Location:  Fairbanks City Hall, City Council Chamber, 2nd Floor Time:  2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 20 Community:  Juneau, AK Location:  Alaska State Capitol Building, Room 106 Time:  1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Thursday, April 21 Community:  Cordova, AK Location:  City of Cordova Public Library Time:  1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday, April 25 Community:  Healy, AK Location:  Tri-Valley Community Center (Fire Hall) Time:  12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Community:  Palmer, AK Location:  Mat-Su Borough Assembly Chambers Time:  2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, April 26 Community:  Delta Junction, AK Location:  Delta Junction City Council Chambers Time:  10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Community:  Nome, AK Location:  Nome City Council Chambers Time:  10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Community:  Dutch Harbor, AK Location:  Unalaska City Council Chambers Time:  1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Community:  Kotzebue, AK Location:  Northwest Arctic Borough Assembly Chambers Time:  3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Community:  Tok, AK Location:  Tok Legislative Information Office Time:  3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Community:  Cold Bay, AK Location:  City of Cold Bay Community Center Time:  7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 27 Community:  Bethel, AK Location:  Yup'iit Piciryarait Cultural Center Time:  10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Community:  Glenallen, AK Location:  Glenallen Legislative Information Office Time:  10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Thursday, April 28 Community:  Galena, AK Location:  Galena City Hall Assembly Chambers Time:  1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Community:  Barrow, AK Location:  Inupiat Heritage Learning Center  Time:  3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday, April 29 Community:  Kodiak, AK Location:  Kodiak Island Borough Assembly Chambers Time:  12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Community:  Sitka, AK Location:  Centennial Hall, Maksoutoff Room  Time:  1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Saturday, April 30 Community:  Craig, AK Location:  Craig High School Library  Time:  11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Community:  Ketchikan, AK Location:  Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly Chambers  Time:  4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday, May 2 Community:  Wrangell, AK Location:  Nolan Center  Time:  11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Community:  Seward, AK Location:  Seward City Council Chambers Time:  2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 3 Community:  Petersburg, AK Location:  Petersburg City Council Chambers  Time:  11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Community:  Homer, AK Location:  Homer City Council Chambers Time:  11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Community:  Kenai, AK Location:  Kenai City Council Chambers Time:  4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Wednesday, May 4 Community:  Skagway, AK Location:  Municipality of Skagway Assembly Chambers  Time:  9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Community:  Haines, AK Location:  Haines Borough Public Library  Time:  1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Community:  Valdez, AK Location:  Valdez City Council Chambers  Time:  2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Thursday, May 5 Community:  Angoon, AK Location:  Angoon Elementary School, Gymnasium  Time:  10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Community:  King Salmon, AK Location:  Southeast Alaska Vocational Education Center  Time:  10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Community:  Dillingham, AK Location:  Dillingham City Council Chambers  Time:  3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Community:  Hoonah, AK Location:  Hoonah City Council Chambers  Time:  3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Statewide Teleconference and Plan Presentations  A statewide teleconference will be held on Friday, May 6th via the Alaska Legislative Information Office (LIO) network.  Date:  Friday, May 6th Time:  9:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Location:  Alaska Legislative Information Office Network The full Redistricting Board will be in attendance at the Anchorage LIO, 714 West Fourth Avenue, Room 220, Anchorage, AK 99501.  The morning session will be reserved for presentations of plans and plan revisions by members of the public.
