Our Mission
The mission of the Heritage Land Bank is to manage uncommitted municipal land in our inventory and the Heritage Land Bank Fund in a manner designed to benefit the present and future citizens of Anchorage, promote orderly development, and achieve the goals of the Comprehensive Plan.
The HLB achieves this mission by inventorying and managing HLB land and resources to benefit a variety of municipal purposes. The HLB does not manage all municipal land; only parcels that it has management authority over and are in the HLB inventory. The Heritage Land Bank' s land base currently consists of approximately 9,000 acres distributed between Chugiak and Girdwood, with most of its acreage (approximately 5,000) in the Girdwood Valley. The inventory includes residential, commercial, industrial, open space and recreational areas.
The Heritage Land Bank Advisory Commission oversees the operation of the Heritage Land Bank and the HLB Fund. For information on the commission and meetings, please click on the "Advisory Commission" link in the left-hand margin.
We look forward to serving you!
