Next Monday, the Pioneer Home in Juneau plans to expand its visitations from one family member to two family members per household.

The aquarium and marine research facility may have to close permanently and find new homes for its resident animals if it can’t make up for lost visitor revenues.

Thanks to a Depression-era style conservation corp paid for with local CARES Act funds, some of locals laid off from their seasonal jobs this summer are now getting back to work. 

Aquatics manager Kollin Monahan says the public can now come and go to Dimond Park Aquatic Center on a first-come, first-served basis.

The ordinance — as written — would provide sweeping protections for a number of marginalized groups.

Restaurants and local food producers in Juneau were gearing up for what was supposed to be a record breaking tourism season. Those hopes are dashed. But businesses are finding ways to sell their inventory.
