The area has supported homeless encampments over the years.
A vacant city-owned lot, photographed on Monday, May 13, 2024 and located at a former large homeless camp north of Third Avenue and west of Ingra Street, is being studied as a potential RV resort by the Anchorage Community Development Authority.
Gant said the development authority is currently managing the property and keeping it clear of people and trash, under a six-month land use permit with the land bank. Building housing with some commercial development at the former hospital site was a big part of a 2019 Heritage Land Bank“The money that would have to go into it has made it something that no one has been willing to take on,” he said.

The late traditional healer Rita Blumenstein, who spent years advising city leaders on the use of the space, said that any development there should benefit Alaskans, and especially Alaska Native people, DeWitt said. He’s also concerned that the proposed RV resort would “strip” away the historical and cultural value of the land to primarily serve tourists in summer, he said.Rob Cupples, a member of the 3rd Avenue Radicals who lives near the lot and owns rental cottages there, said the neighborhood group helped lead the effort that evolved into the creation of the master plan.
