Cascade Point: Connecting Southeast Alaska in 2026

The first First Things First episode of 2026 kicks off with a deep dive into the Cascade Point Ferry Terminal and why it’s poised to be a game-changer for Southeast Alaska transportation. Host Dano is joined by First Things First Executive Director Don Habiger, former Juneau Chamber president Bruce Abel, and former Planning Commission member Matt Bell to explore how the project could improve regional connectivity, reduce costs and emissions, strengthen the Alaska Marine Highway System, and unlock long-term economic opportunities—from reliable freight service to job creation and resource development partnerships.
