Juneau Assembly Considers Bronze Sculpture

JUNEAU, Alaska — The Juneau Assembly is set to review a proposal for a $500,000 bronze whale sculpture that would be located downtown. The sculpture is estimated to cost $1.2 million, a price tag that does not include the cost of the land and site preparation.

City Manager Rod Swope says estimates of a final cost have come in at $2.7 million.
The proposed funding would be made available to the Whale Committee, a group of citizens that has formed to raise funds for construction of the sculpture.
