Pilgrim Hot Springs sale approved, stay denied

According to the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, the sale of Pilgrim Hot Springs will go through unobstructed after a decision to deny a stay requested by two people who had been acting as caretakers of the property. This means that Unaatuq LLC, a consortium of Alaska Native corporations, other entities and nonprofit groups will be able to take title of the 320-acre property for its successful $1.9 million bid at an auction held in U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Court in early March. The auction generated funds to pay a settlement between the Fairbanks Catholic Diocese and the victims of sexual predators it employed as priests.
