Homer reverses Copper River Seafoods building plan, keeps December deadline

The Homer City Council voted March 23 to approve a third amendment to Copper River Seafoods' 2019 lease, revoking design changes from a second amendment and restoring the original site and floor plans on a 15,300-square-foot parcel. Construction deadlines established in the second amendment remain in place. Lease revenues are unchanged.

Mayor Rachel Lord described the action as "Approving an amendment to the Copper River Seafoods Lease, reverting their building plans back to their original designs from 2019."

The lease, originally authorized May 16, 2019, as a 20-year agreement, had been modified by a second amendment that replaced the original plans with new designs and extended construction deadlines. The third amendment revokes those modifications, returning to the original site and floor plans while leaving the construction deadlines intact.

City Manager Amy Woodruff is authorized to negotiate and execute the documents needed to finalize the reversion.
