Economic Development

The Economic Development program at the Denali Commission realizes that the economic success in Alaska’s larger communities is directly related to the success of rural Alaska. These economies are linked and the Commission continues to take important steps at encouraging economic development in one of the most challenging markets in the American economy, rural Alaska.

 

The Economic Development Program continues to provide rural communities with the tools necessary to plan for their own sustainability. The Commission encourages economic development through innovative partnerships with regional organizations in the areas of community mapping, community planning, feasibility studies, business planning, small equipment purchases and more.
