The Greater Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce and its Board of Directors
have followed with keen interest & concern, the recently
accepted initiative petition to add section to the Ketchikan
Gateway Borough Code of Ordinances entitled: Land Use Density
Limitations (Jewelry Stores).
While the Board of Directors have not yet stated a position or
made any formal decision, President Rob Skinner, and Membership
Services Chair, Renee Schofield have met with initiative sponsor
representatives to discuss and address concerns equal to that
of the Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce greatly appreciates the sponsors of this
initiative and their concern for our community, and furthermore,
has committed to working in concert and in positive fashion with
initiative sponsors; to address and seek amendable solution to
the concerns identified and brought fourth within the initiative.
However, it will not support the initiative with contained present
language, nor any form of any initiative that it deems as un-fair,
or unconstitutional to free market enterprise.
