I want to bring to light some facts for your reading public.<\/p>\n

April 17, 2023, the first cruise ship of the season arrives at 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

October 25, 2023, will be the last ship of the season.<\/p>\n

A total of 704 ships will dock this season which will bring 1.6 million cruise ship passengers.<\/p>\n

According to the city manager, who told Assembly members at the last Committee of the Whole on April 3, 2023, there will be 3,000 more passengers per day this season.<\/p>\n

Can we as a community sustain this type of invasion every summer? If you have concerns contact your Assembly: boroughassembly@juneau.org<\/a><\/p>\n
