AIDEA's Executive Director, Randy Ruaro, and other "Investing in SE Alaska's Rural Communities" panel members presented valuable information to the 2024 Southeast Alaska Economic Summit attendees yesterday. What a wonderful opportunity for Alaskans to connect and share an amazing amount of knowledge for the betterment of our great state. Thank you, Southeast Conference and the beautiful City of Ketchikan!

While in Ketchikan for the Seagriculture USA 2024 Conference, we spent some time at KTKN discussing many ways AIDEA invests in Alaskans. https://lnkd.in/gsuWRSav

Did you know that since its creation in 1967, AIDEA has announced and paid over $479 million to Alaska's General Fund? Including its payroll, investment funds, and operating costs, AIDEA remains a self-funded, self-sustaining source of financial support for the State.

Amidst ongoing debate about the impact of roads in Alaska, AIDEA extends its gratitude to Teck, NANA, and our partners in the Red Dog mine area for their years of successful operations on and around DMTS (Delong Mountain Transportation System). They transport ore from the mine to the export terminal each day while demonstrating respect for the water, wildlife, and local input. The road plays a crucial role as an economic driver for the region, and we look forward to the potential for further exploration and development to build upon this successful track record.

Despite the temporary setback in AIDEA’s efforts to bring jobs and economic development to underserved parts of our great state, we will not be deterred from our efforts to partner with Alaskans to stabilize our communities and ensure economic opportunities for generations to come. https://lnkd.in/geTRmrsY
