Demolition, site work and new construction of a municipal facility in Girdwood, Alaska. Conceptual plans call for the demolition of a municipal facility; for the construction of a municipal facility; and for site work for a municipal facility.

It is the intent of the Girdwood community to build a new facility in the existing location at 154 Egloff Road to house a community owned building that can be used by the Little Bears Playhouse program and for other community purposes. The existing Little Bears building and old Fire Station (Glacier City Hall) would be demolished. The hope is that the building will be built by the community of Girdwood through municipal bonding, and be owned by the Municipality of Anchorage, and managed by the Girdwood Valley Service Area as the current facility is. Taxpayers in Girdwood would pay for the entire cost of the bond. The community owned building will be compliant with code requirements for a Child Care Facility, and will also be able to hold community functions and public gatherings. The existing facility is 2,130 sq. ft.; the proposed facility is 3,955 sq. ft.
