AboutPlans > Community Wildfire Protection Plan - 2008
Plan Overview
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough is one of the fastest growing regions in the State of Alaska. The population boom has caused significant increase in new construction for both homes and business, resulting in a rapidly growing wildland-urban interface (WUI).
Wildfire risk has increased in recent years due to increased human activities, spruce bark beetle infestation, and climatic changes that have led to warmer, drier summers.
While the MSB government has been working to protect individuals, communities and properties through FireWise and Hazard Fuel Reduction programs, a need for improved collaboration and the establishment of Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) has become a top priority.
MSB developed an umbrella (area-wide) CWPP to model the process and develop the methodology necessary for developing future community level CWPPs.
First developed in 2008, the MSB CWPP is still needed with as much urgency today.

Plans > Economic Development Strategic Plan
Plan Overview
The Mat-Su Borough is the premier destination for quality developmentand jobs in Alaska.
This vision statement presents a clear focus for MSB’s economic development efforts withaggressive, yet attainable, goals. Mat-Su will establish itself as a magnet for the highestquality development and jobs within the state of Alaska.
This vision, however, can only be reached if goals are established as pillars to support keyproposals. We believe that the following five goals will accomplish that:
- Goal One: Position Mat-Su for sustainable economic growth and vitality.
- Goal Two: Build capacity to conduct economic development within the Borough.
- Goal Three: Expand Mat-Su’s economic development infrastructure.
- Goal Four: Attract, retain, and engage talent.
- Goal Five: Raise awareness of economic development opportunities.

Plans > Landfill Development Plan (2020)
Plan Overview
There are three major development phases in the conceptual cell layout for the Plan. Each phase includes multiple individual landfill cells. Phase 1 includes the developed landfill area (Cells 2A, 2B, 3, and 4) and future Cell 5. Phases 2 and 3 are divided into corridors, which may contain two or three landfill cells each, depending on operational preferences as phasing progresses (e.g., cell life). Phase 2 is located south of Phase 1 and includes seven corridors. Phase 3 is located east of Phases 1 and 2 and includes eight corridors. This corridor orientation throughout the Landfill development takes advantage of piggybacking airspace over existing waste.
Plan Justification
This is an update of the current landfill development plan and any recommended changes, incorporating conceptual design of leachate and landfill gas (LFG) management systems, and the feasibility of select leachate treatment and LFG reuse options. The Plan provides a summary of the data, assumptions, and approaches that were used in the conceptual layout and cell sequencing for the Central Landfill (CLF).
