Saxman Cultural Park & Harbor Master Plan

The most recent master plan developed for the City of Saxman was the 1989 Native Village Master Plan. This 2021 Cultural Park and Harbor Master Plan will identify new opportunities and facilities that will encourage future economic growth for the City of Saxman, and its expansion within cultural and recreation tourism, and the Southeast Alaska small cruise ship market. A Programming Study was developed for the City of Saxman by the same planning team in 2020, that lays the foundation for this master plan. The City of Saxman currently offers visitors an authentic Alaska Native cultural experience, something that is unique in Southeast Alaska. There is a desire to strengthen and expand the activities and programming that would solidify Saxman as a premier cultural destination for cruise ship and independent visitors to the region. There is also the desire to provide facilities and opportunities for its residents, as well as visitors. This master plan will offer a dynamic long-term planning guide for future growth and development to improve the waterfront, cultural park, and surrounding recreational spaces.
