For reference, that's $300,000/person. Alaska's annual state budget is $13.8 billion [0]. $180 million / $13.8 billion = ~0.94% of the annual budget spent on 600 people out of the ~740,000 who live in Alaska [1]. (I'm aware that Alaska is not footing the entire bill.). I'd be interested in how the town came up with that $180 million figure.
