At the end of 2017, Juneau Youth Services (JYS) vacated a City and Borough of Juneau property, and the property is currently for sale.
CBJ officials hope the property, located at the corner of Mendenhall Loop Road and Hurlock Avenue by the Pipeline Skate Park, goes to a service-minded organization that can use the property for childcare, education or another community purpose. The city is holding an open house from noon to 6 p.m. Monday at the property, giving people a look around at what it offers.
The parcel is 36,112 square feet, with four buildings and a gravel parking lot that can fit about 20 vehicles. Those looking to buy or lease the land are asked to consult the 2017 Assembly Goals, the Juneau Economic Development Plan and the Housing Action Plan to learn more about the stated community needs.
Proposals and applications are due at 2 p.m. Jan. 16, and those interested can find applications and more information at https://beta.juneau.org/lands/land-sales. City staff members are hoping to make a recommendation regarding the property to the Assembly Lands Committee at its Jan. 29 meeting. If no interest is shown or the proposals do not meet the CBJ’s wishes, the city may sell the property for fair market value.
JYS used the site for almost 50 years as its Cornerstone Campus, which provided transitional housing for young adults.
