The S.S. Nenana Needs Your Voice!

The Nenana needs your voice again! The FNSB does not want to accept the $500,000 appropriation we secured through the Saving America’s Treasures Grant because it has a 15-year maintenance clause attached.

This money must be used to paint the boat to prevent wood rot from all the exposed wood. By not accepting these funds to repair the boat, they are dooming future assembly members to come up with millions of dollars in repairs, or, at worst, condemning her to be demolished.

Please tell the assembly to agree to accept this money.

Please email the assembly members at Assembly@fnsb.gov or individually through the FNSB web page for their individual email addresses. [https://www.fnsb.gov/171/Borough-Assembly](https://www.fnsb.gov/171/Borough-Assembly…)
