A story in Hope, Alaska
This organization was formed in response to years of concerns by locals regarding the impact of Creekbend Company’s growing live music events. As concerns have grown, many efforts were made to engage the owners in conversation about minimizing their impact - from letters, emails, phone calls and in person requests to multiple community-wide meetings. Despite this, concert events have continued to expand in frequency and impact. So recently, an organization was formed to facilitate an official agreement between the community of Hope and Creekbend Co. at which point we plan to withdraw our objection to the AMCO board.
It is not the goal of this organization to shut down Creekbend. This is simply a concerted effort from a significant portion of our small community to be heard, and to find a compromise that works for both business and daily life.
