Seward, Alaska was established on an alluvial fan in the Kenai Fjords where mountains shoot straight into the ocean. Surrounded by features that make it hard to develop and built on a land feature known for flooding, Seward has had its challenges over the years as it attempts to grow. As Seward prepares for its future growth, the town has embarked on the process to update its Comprehensive Plan and so for today's episode, we invite the Seward City Planner, Courtney Bringhurst, on the program to discuss the unique aspects of city planning in the Last Frontier. What is a Comprehensive Plan? What are the challenges to city planning in a place like Seward? And what's the process for Andrew to build a trebuchet in his back yard?! It's the episode you better make a plan to listen to!
