U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski will be in Cordova this weekend, and locals will have a chance to meet with her. Alaska’s senior senator is slated to participate in a town hall of sorts on Sunday morning from 10:30-11:30 a.m. at the Mt. Eccles Elementary School commons – where Cordovans will be able to engage with her about issues they’d like her to prioritize.

The Friends of Rye Town Park has raised more than $450,000 to restore its tower building, the group announced Friday morning. The nonprofit volunteer group launched a fundraising campaign for its Tower Building Restoration Project back on April 12 — with an initial goal of raising $350,000. But things changed in May, after the Friends group received a $200,000 matching grant from the Sue and Edgar Wachenheim Foundation.

The Cordova City Council last week approved a property tax increase for the 2025 tax year – primarily in an attempt to cover the cost of funding the Cordova School District. During the council’s regular meeting on May 21, council members voted 4-2 to raise the property tax mill levy from 9.93 to 11.44 mills in 2025. A mill levy is a property tax rate wherein one mill represents $1 of tax for every $1,000 of a property’s assessed value.

Around 15,000 families reportedly came out to Playland for its season opener on Memorial Day weekend — even though two-thirds of the amusement park’s rides were closed to patrons. Westchester County offered free admission and parking all weekend to kick off Playland’s 2025 season, and to entice attendees to visit the largely shuttered park. Officials counted attendance by car each day and reported more than 2,000 cars on May 24, over 5,000 on May 25, and nearly 6,000 cars counted on May 26.
