Skagway and the Yukon have a long, common history when it comes to mining. After a decades-long lease to a private entity, the ore transfer dock will come under the Skagway municipality’s control. The facilities will be upgraded over the coming year. The Yukon government is negotiating with the municipality to secure access for Yukon mining companies to Skagway’s deep water port. The Skagway Borough Assembly Thursday voted to approve the general terms for an export cooperation agreement with the Yukon government.
