Skagway’s most profitable economic sector, cruise ship tourism, is at risk.
That was the message port consultants delivered to borough leaders last week.
The consultants were hired to make a recommendation about what Skagway can do to ready its port for larger cruise ships by 2019.
They’re suggesting the municipality act as soon as possible on a $14.5 million modification to the ore dock.http://khns
