Alaska Economic Development Resource Guide
"The Alaska Economic Development Resource Guide is designed to bring together in one place an inventory of programs and services that can provide economic development assistance to Alaska communities, businesses, organizations, and individuals.
Federal and state agencies as well as national and Alaska private non-profit agencies are represented. This directory primarily describes those programs that focus on the creation and support of new industries, businesses, and long-term jobs. It is designed to help communities match their economic development strategy with existing program resources that could support that strategy."
