Alaska Association for Historic Preservation - Nike Site Summit Tourism Development Project
Total Project Snapshot Report 2012 Legislature TPS Report 58433v1 Agency: Commerce, Community and Economic Development Grants to Named Recipients (AS 37.05.316) Grant Recipient: Alaska Association for Historic Federal Tax ID: 920085097 Preservation Project Title: Project Type: Remodel, Reconstruction and Upgrades Alaska Association for Historic Preservation - Nike Site Summit Tourism Development Project State Funding Requested: $50,000 House District: Anchorage Areawide (16-32) Future Funding May Be Requested Brief Project Description: Stabilize Buildings at Nike Site Summit Historic District in preparation for public tours. Funding Plan: Total Project Cost: $215,000 Funding Already Secured: ($5,000) FY2013 State Funding Request: ($50,000) Project Deficit: $160,000 Funding Details: FONSS is actively fundraising and seeking in-kind donations to continue the work to stabilize the Launch Control Building and Guided Missile Maintenance Facility. Total project cost as estimated by the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) is approximately $524,000. Our estimate of $407,670 is based on different assumptions for treating the buildings. Detailed Project Description and Justification: In preparation for guided tours of the Nike Site Summit Historic District scheduled to begin in the fall of 2012, FONSS began building stabilization of the Launch Control Building and the Guided Missile Maintenance Building in the summer of 2011. This followed successful completion of restoration of 3 Sentry Buildings and preliminary roof repairs at two Launch buildings during the summer of 2010 by volunteers. Donations from vendors, in-kind equipment loans and FONSS members have so far paid for repairs, but additional funds are needed to cover the "big jobs" that remain, as follows: Launch Control Building - The objective of stabilization is to seal the building from the elements, restore the exterior of the building to its historic Cold War appearance, and abate hazardous materials from inside the building to make it safe for visitors. -

The three-winged icon with center dot is "Roman violet,"a color used by early Nuclear scientists to denote a very precious item. The "sky blue" background was intended to create an arresting contrast.

The state’s strategic value in defending our nation also played a key role in its bid for statehood. Since the end of the Cold War, Alaska’s role and its effects on the state have received increasing focus from historians, veterans, and longtime Alaskans. This resource guide is designed to help students and teachers in researching the Cold War in Alaska, and to provide basic information for anyone who is interested in learning more about this unique history. The guide begins with a map of Cold War military sites in Alaska and a brief summary to help orient the reader. -

Stories about the Byway’s cultural and natural history are hidden in the towns and landscapes along the way . Several existing sites including businesses, nature centers, and waysides do a wonderful job sharing Byway stories with travelers . However, existing interpretation reveals only a fraction of the Byway’s significance. -

The HPF supports the state and tribal historic preservation programs and provides money for special initiatives to preserve historically black colleges and underrepresented communities. Four bills being considered in Congress have HPF reauthorization provisions, and the administration’s FY17 budget proposal included a provision for permanent authorization. The National Historic Preservation Amendment Act of 2015 (H.R. 2817) would authorize the HPF through 2025 at $150 million annually. The Energy Policy Modernization Act (S. 2012) would permanently authorize the HPF. The American Energy Innovation Act (S. 2089) would permanently authorize the HPF, but goes further than S. 2012 towards full, permanent funding by requiring the funds to be available without needing an appropriation. And S. 556, called the sportsmen’s package bill, has a provision to permanently authorize the HPF. -
The Coldest Front: Cold War Military Properties in Alaska Revised and Expanded ______
1 United States Department of Defense Legacy Resource Management Program _________ The Coldest Front: Cold War Military Properties in Alaska Revised and Expanded _________ Prepared in Cooperation with the Alaska State Historic Preservation Officer February 1996, August 2012 Stewardship ● Leadership ● Partnership 2 Legacy The Legacy Resource Management Program was established by the Congress of the United States in 1991 to provide the Department of Defense with an opportunity to enhance the management of stewardship resources on over 25 million acres of land under DoD jurisdiction. Legacy allows DoD to determine how to better integrate the conservation of irreplaceable biological, cultural and geophysical resources with the dynamic requirements of military missions. To achieve this goal, DoD gives high priority to inventorying, protecting, and restoring biological, cultural and geophysical resources in a comprehensive, cost-effective manner, in partnership with federal, state and local agencies and private groups. Legacy activities help to ensure that DoD personnel better understand the need for protection and conservation of natural and cultural resources and that the management of these resources will be fully integrated with and support DoD mission activities and the public interest. Through the combined efforts of the DoD components, Legacy seeks to achieve its legislative purposes with cooperation, industry and creativity, to make the DoD the federal environmental leader. ________________________________________________________________________ This document was prepared in partnership with Alaska State Historic Preservation Officer Judith E.
