Most of the villages, 169 registered voters, took part in the town hall meeting. They decided in a vote of 89 to 78 to move from their land on sarah's half island near the Arctic circle. Mayor council secretary Donna Barr said the vote was largely symbolic.It will be costly financially to the community. About 15 years ago, they estimated the cost at $180 million.
