Our plan
Why community-owned.
Anchorage's public arenas should be run for the people who skate on them. Here is the case for a community-owned model, and what ACIM commits to.
Public ice deserves a public-minded steward.
Ben Boeke and Dempsey Anderson are community assets. ACIM manages them as a community-owned organization, where success is measured in ice hours, healthy programs, and trust, not in profit extracted from the rink.
Transparent budgets
Clear, public reporting on what the arenas earn and where it goes. No hidden operator margins.
Reinvested in the ice
Revenue goes back into ice quality, facilities, and programs, not out to private owners.
Open and public
Public sessions and community access are protected, so the arenas stay for everyone.
Accountable to Anchorage
Community-owned governance means the people who use the ice have a real say in how it runs.
What changes for skaters
- Reliable public-skate and open-ice times you can count on
- Fair, predictable pricing for families and teams
- Better-maintained ice and facilities over time
- A local organization that answers to the community, not a distant operator
