Alaska Town Giving Away Free Land
Friday , March 16, 2007
ADVERTISEMENTANCHORAGE, Alaska —
Anderson, a little town in Alaska's interior, has no gas station, no grocery store and no traffic lights, but it does have plenty of woodsy land — and it's free to anyone willing to put down roots in the often-frozen ground. Moderator cut: copyright |
Does this offer still stand?
I have a rescued horse that has arthritis and so do I...
wondering about the frigid cold and how that would affect both of us.
Am very interested tho if this is still availible.

They needed to be able to expand the sales tax base and bring more families in with children.
The school has lost a lot of kids and is in financial straights and in danger of being shut down and the remaining kids bussed to Healy.
The entire town was built to support Clear AFB, which is an early warning radar site built in the late fifties. Most of those that came here then have long since retired, their kids can't get work there and had to leave so new families are pretty scarce with kids. There is a lot of older retired folks that live there, but it is mostly still a town thrown together for a quick job in the late fifties and early sixties that never really became permanent. There are some really nice homes there, but more that are shacks...
The lots that were given away, were after the city set them up to sell to contractors at inflated prices to build homes for the Alaska Guard that was suppose to take over for the Air Force personnel that they were going to replace and bring their families there to live.
The contractors laughed at the inflated prices and left. The kids in the school were the ones that came up with the "Free" land and the city counsel went with it... There is only a few houses that were built so far... Not much of a success and the land had to be built on in a certain amount of time or go back to the city.
Not a clue to what they will do with the returned land.
