Gas Utility Hearing

Tonight, September 10, 2012, the Fairbanks City Council is holding a hearing on the ordinance to transfer the City’s powers to own and operate a utility to the Fairbanks North Star Borough. The creation of a Borough wide gas utility, we believe, is necessary to give the community a voice in reducing the staggering energy costs that our community faces today.
