Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) asks the public to report all opossum sightings immediately to the ADF&G at 907-235-8191. The ADF&G is actively working towards the removal of opossums from the wild in the Homer area because opossums possess the potential to spread diseases, prey on, and compete with native wildlife.

If an opossum is spotted outside of normal business hours, please contact the Homer Police at 907-235-3150.

On May 22, 2023, the City of Homer was named an official Coast Guard City in Alaska, as approved by the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard and the United States Congress.

On May 23, the City’s contractor, Southcentral Construction, began construction on a sewer and water infrastructure improvement project on E Bunnell Avenue, Charles Way, and Allen Way. The primary purpose of this project is to connect properties currently unserved by City water and sewer in Old Town to vital water and sewer system services. These improvements are part of a Special Assessment District initiated by property owners. They are being completed in partnership with the City, which will pay a premium assessment to extend services to Bishop’s Beach Park.
