Assembly clears Rasmussen grant application tied to water, sewer and long-trail connection at Matanuska River Park

Mayor Edna De Vries said the borough had sought a Rasmussen grant to upgrade water and sewer systems at Matanuska River Park. She said there was a question about whether the grant could proceed without including a small long-trail connection; "word came back from Rasmus and know that it'll had to be all in 1 and the assembly did approve that so we will be seeing some much needed improvements at, the Matanuska River Park which is in the borough just outside of Palmer."

The transcript uses the name "Rasmussen" for the grant and later refers to "Rasmus" in the response; the recording does not provide a grant amount. The assembly approved including the trails connection in the application, which the mayor said clears the path for upgrades to water and sewer at the park.
