A steep road embankment along Highland Drive at the crossing of Bidarki Creek began to slough and erode during the winter of 2024/2025. The Public Works Department has been closely monitoring the area and contracted with an engineering firm to provide detailed repair design. A construction contractor mobilized on October 13 to begin work to replace the culvert and reconstruct the road.

Highland Drive will be closed beginning Wednesday, October 15, 2025 for the reconstruction.

Three City Council members officially began new terms at last night's City Council meeting after the certification of October 7 municipal election results confirmed their successful re-election bids.

While election outcomes often capture the headlines, we wanted to take a moment to recognize and thank our behind-the-scenes election heroes: our poll workers and city clerks. They put in long hours to make sure every voter in our community can participate. From managing accessible voting locations to helping voters check in and ensuring ballots are properly cast, these dedicated individuals safeguard the fundamental elements of our democratic process.

The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) provides information on capital projects identified as priorities for the Homer community.  Projects to be undertaken by the State of Alaska and other non-City organizations are included in the CIP in separate sections. An overview of the financial assumptions can be found in the Appendix.

Corn hole is one of the fastest-growing community games in the country! The rules are simple: players toss fabric bags filled with resin toward a raised wooden board with a hole at the far end. Land a bag on the board for one point, or sink it through the hole for three points. First to 21 wins!  This is a drop in program and we will soon be offering tournaments and possibly leagues. Play solo or with a partner, all equipment is provided. We are partnering with the Kenai Peninsula Corn Hole Club to make this happen.
