$183 million for infrastructure for mineral extraction

I want to thank President Trump and his Cabinet for everything they're doing in Alaska's best interests, and in the best interests of the United States. There's no doubt a positive relationship with our country's President is everything. What has this positive relationship done for our great state? The list is exhaustive, but here are a few examples. Last August, we received a record-setting $183 million in federal highway funds for transportation infrastructure improvements. This administration has taken numerous steps to increase oil and gas production including offshore, reopening millions of acres in the NPR-A, finalizing plans to open ANWR, and promoting Alaska LNG on the international stage. Last August, the State of Alaska entered a first-of-its-kind MOU with the Federal Permitting Council to streamline project permitting under the FAST-41 program [for mineral extraction]. This MOU is accelerating permitting for expansions at existing operations at Greens Creek and Red Dog mines.

Put infrastructure funds into maintenance, not just building

Q: What is your assessment of Alaska's transportation system? What, if anything, would you change?

DUNLEAVY: More attention needs to be given to the maintenance and operations of our roads and airports and not just in the capital outlays for the construction phase of such Infrastructure.
