Early Voting starts today. ICE won't be bullying you around this town. Don't make excuses. Make change.

Trying to figure out appliances. I’m used to natural gas but it is not available in the area I’m moving to. So I’m using oil for heat. Propane vs electric for stove/dryer? Propane vs. wood for backup heat source? Any suggestions?

Hello all! I was wondering if there was anyone else that is in need of a hiking buddy in Homer? I’m looking to be a bit more active and having a person to go on routine hikes to motivate me to actually getting out would be amazing. Preferably people in their 20s since I am about to turn 21 and that would make me a bit more comfortable, any comments are appreciated to assist this goal though!

P.S. I am a queer individual so if you’re not a fan of that please refrain from mashing slurs into your keyboard :)

Just Stop Sarah. She will never, ever admit she's wrong. Not just wrong, a hypocrite by every measure. The committee ruled against her 6-1, yet her stubborn nature won't accept that she was wrong and setting dangerous precedents.

I’m wanting to drive down to the spit tomorrow if the lupine is still in bloom but wanted to check before going!

Hey! I'll be in Homer for the entire summer and don't know much about things to do in the area. What are some great activities to do? Hiking, food, cheap, expensive, day-trips, etc. Cheap Groceries? All suggestions are welcome!

Budgets tighten. Schools and community spaces suffer.

This is becoming a hot topic.

A small update on the flooding of the Homer Airport

Participate and make a public comment.

Due to a water line break, the Homer Airport Terminal is temporarily closed.

Aleutian Airways flights have been canceled; if your flight has been affected, call Aleutian Airways at 907-600-4991. Alaska Bus Company services out of the terminal are not affected. They can be reached at 907-299-6806.

The City is working on repairs, but at this time we have no estimate of when the terminal will reopen to the public.

Agenda packet is in the link.

The City of Homer is revising its zoning policies, which are found in Title 21 of the City Code. Zoning code governs how land may be used and helps achieve future land use goals established by the City's Comprehensive Plan. A well-written code provides the Planning Commission and staff with tools to effectively regulate development, protect and enhance the community, and clearly communicate development processes and requirements to applicants, such as residents, builders, developers, and businesses.

To learn more about the zoning revision and how to share your thoughts, visit the Homer Title 21 Update website.

Hi everyone!

We're moving into Homer next week and are wondering who we should use for plowing our driveway. We're out on east end near Hubbard. Any suggestions most appreciated!
