3:23:23 PM SENATE BILL NO. 254 An Act extending the termination date of the Alaska regional economic assistance program; and providing for an effective date. JODY SIMPSON, STAFF, SENATOR CHARLIE HUGGINS, said that the Alaska Regional Economic Assistance Program was created by the Legislature in 1988 to promote the economic development of Alaska's urban and rural areas. The program enables the creation of Alaska Regional Development Organization (ARDOR). To carry out the mission of each ARDOR, the State provides funding in the form of grants. In turn, the ARDOR's use that money to leverage, on the average eight times the State's investment in private, federal and other funds. The intent for the statewide ARDOR's is: · Enable local officials and business to pool resources and work together on economic development; · Develop partnerships among public, private and other organizations; and · Provide technical assistance via direct links with local citizens. 3:26:02 PM Vice-Chair Stoltze pointed out that SB 254 is a companion bill to HB 272, which he had sponsored. 3:27:00 PM MICHAEL HANZUK, DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST, ARDOR PROGRAM, OFFICE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ARDOR PROGRAM, DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT testified via teleconference, offered to answer questions of the Committee. 3:27:40 PM MICHAEL CATSI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, SOUTHWEST ALASKA MUNICIPAL CONFERENCE testified via teleconference, offered to answer questions of the Committee.
