project. Acquisition, rehabilitation, new

rehabilitation are eligible development
activities under this program.
Economic Development
Since its earliest days as a territory of
the United States, Alaska has
contributed to the economy of America,
largely through supply of raw materials
or partially processed products. Now
Alaska’s abundant natural resources,
from fossil fuel and mineral products to
timber and fish, must compete in the
global marketplace. Innovation and
entrepreneurship have become critical
to business success.
One of the purposes of the
Commission is economic development.
The Commission firmly believes that
sustainable economic development for
Alaska’s rural communities, like that of
the rest of America, will be generated in
the private, commercial sector, not
within government. To that end, the
Commission supports the development
of public infrastructure upon which the
private sector creates jobs and wealth,
and helps ensure that good businesses
and business ideas have a chance to
become long-term, self-sustaining
enterprises.
Over the history of the Program, the
Commission has supported and
advanced a wide array of economic
development program activities ranging
from community profile mapping to
supporting innovative models for
lending, and equity investment in
Alaska.
The Program is guided by
Commission staff and the Economic
Development Advisory Committee,
which provides general policy guidance
and funding recommendations in broad
categories. It is anticipated that FY 08
funds will be made available via an RFP
process.

Government Coordination
The Commission is charged with the
special role of increasing the
effectiveness of government programs
by acting as a catalyst to coordinate the
many Federal and State programs that
serve Alaska. In FY 08 the Commission
will continue its role of coordinating
State and Federal agencies and other
partner organizations to accomplish its
overall mission of developing Alaska’s
communities.
Other Emerging Issues
The Commission anticipates an active
role in the emerging issues and
challenges related to erosion and
relocation in Alaska in the future. The
Commission is committed to partnering
with other Federal, State and tribal

entities to ensure that public policy
solutions are developed in the most
expedient, responsive and culturallyappropriate manner. While no funds are
appropriated for the Commission for
this purpose in FY 08, Commission staff
are working diligently to ensure that
communities that may experience
erosion or relocation issues are being
vetted and reviewed appropriately prior
to infrastructure development occurring.
The Commission is committed to
innovative, cost-effective and creative
design and construction solutions. To
that end, the Commission anticipates
engaging in more diverse and
experimental partnerships in FY 08, and
will be seeking innovative design,
construction and program and project
management practices.
In FY 08 the Commission will be
creating an ongoing, agency wide
evaluation system to measure the
outcomes of Commission programs. It is
anticipated that this work will begin in
late spring or early summer, and would
be designed to provide by empirical and
qualitative data regarding Commission
programs, projects and overall goal
accomplishments in a broad set of
evaluation criteria. It is the
Commission’s intent to maintain highlevel measures that are correlated to the
Commission’s goals related to
improving access, reducing cost and
improving the quality of services and
facilities across Alaska. Program
Advisory Committees, staff and
Commissioners will play a critical role
in shaping this evaluation methodology.
