Old village store, Mountain Village.
The old village store in Mountain Village has a rich history as an early trading post on the lower Yukon River. The Asa’carsarmiut Tribal Council (ATC) plans to redevelop this site as part of a mixed-use commercial project. With little available land in the village proper, which is situated between the river and steep hills, this site is important to future economic development in Mountain Village. In 2005, EPA contractors conducted a Targeted Brownfield Assessment of the old store and determined that the structure was unsafe to enter. EPA focused on the exterior of the building, which continues to sit boarded up and abandoned.
DEC completed an assessment of the interior and the stability of the structure, a review of the inventory of chemicals stored onsite, and directed removal of waste to another location. Store was abated and demolished in November 2011.
