The state’s proposed West Susitna Access Road would cut through 100 miles of wilderness to reach an area with mining potential in the Alaska Range foothills.a coalition that includes lodge owners and other business peopleADN reporter Nat Herz recently wrote about the road proposal and the group that wants to kill it.
The flip side is, you know, there are a lot of folks whose business models out there really depend on the isolation, the fact that there aren’t a lot of people and the fact that this is a really remote area with a lot of scenic qualities and mountains and streams and salmon and wildlife.
I think what the businessmen and lodge owners will tell you is that there is a really important economy that exists that is around these lodges and tourist destinations, and that there’s going to be a significant cost to that if you put in a road and diminish those values and “big foot” them with big natural resource development projects.
