We were part of a team conducting a feasibility study for the expansion of the City of Homer’s Deep Water Dock. The initial work entailed research of current and projected economic activity in the community, stakeholder interviews, and development of projected cargo activity. The second effort built on the initial work and focused on areas of opportunity, including the assessment of the potential for industrial moorage and a barge service facility, evaluation of lease rates for land on the Homer Spit adjacent to the Deep Water Dock, and identification of potential funding and financing strategies for dock, uplands, and other improvements. This work took place in 2015–2017.
