Juneau is getting a new City Hall location after all.

On Monday, the Juneau Assembly greenlit the purchase of two floors of the Michael J. Burns building, which houses the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation downtown. It will become Juneau’s new City Hall location after renovations.

The Assembly’s vote comes after multiple years of push and pull between city administration and Juneau voters. The city asked voters twice during recent municipal elections to approve bond debt to help pay for the construction of a brand new City Hall building. Voters said no both times.

Since then, the city put enough money aside to purchase the floors in the Burns building outright, which meant it didn’t need to ask voters to approve any bond debt. The decision instead went to the Assembly.
