Alaskan communities need more economic development tools. The growth in successful communities across America has been driven by innovative lending programs and tax incentives. These tools help private developers to execute projects and allows communities to benefit from local economic developments and increase their tax base.
At ACDA we have begun an advocacy effort to encourage state policy makers to become more engaged in mobilizing state economic development agencies to do more to assist in local development. Currently Alaska has three existing economic development agencies that could be doing more to foster community development. AIDEA, AHFC AND AEA can all play a key role in providing local communities with tools to stimulate economic development while helping Alaskan communities grow their local tax base.
