The State of Alaska, Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development has received a completed application from the Yukon-Kuskokwim Development Council to become an Alaska Regional Development Organization (ARDOR) pursuant to AS 44.33.896. The proposed ARDOR application identifies fifty-six communities within the proposed region; the region is consistent with the existing Association of Village Council Presidents region (see: www.avcp.org). The Board of Directors will consist of eleven members. Four seats are designated for specific sub regions and seven seats are designated for core economic aspects of the region: communications, energy development, finance, fuel, transportation, village small business, and workforce development.
The application is available for review upon request. Comments regarding the proposal or requests for an application for review should be submitted to Stephen SueWing, ARDOR Program Coordinator:
