The Alaska Contractor
“The Alaska Contractor magazine is always a joy to pick up as it shows new projects around the state, it features people who are players in the industry as well as useful ads from local companies we work with.”

The Alaska Contractor Digital Edition
“The new AGC of Alaska digital edition of The Alaska Contractor is SO easy to navigate through. Every article is easily found, expanded, read and shared—that was nearly impossible a few years ago. One member would take a scan from her copier of the Safety Article to share with all of her field crews—now she can send a direct link to each of their phones. The pages are crisp, the text is easily readable, and it has a cohesive look that has really leveled up our game!”
