Fairbanks North Star Borough is a regional government authority in Alaska that functions as the administrative division equivalent to a county, with responsibility over local governance for the area surrounding Fairbanks. Based in Fairbanks, Alaska, it includes the City of Fairbanks and the City of North Pole, each of which has its own elected mayor and council, and it employs hundreds of staff to manage borough-wide affairs. In 2026, the Borough Assembly awarded a contract to Watterson Construction Company for the planned animal shelter, marking a notable expansion of the borough's infrastructure projects. The borough has also engaged in decision-making around major regional initiatives, such as a state bridge replacement project near Eielson Air Force Base. These developments illustrate the borough's role in coordinating services and infrastructure within its jurisdiction, which covers the cities of Fairbanks and North Pole.
