More than eighty AGC members attended the Thursday evening Spring Kick-Off Party at the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum.

The agenda included updates from Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor Bryce Ward, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities, the University of Alaska Facilities department, Eielson Air Force Base, City of Fairbanks Mayor Jim Matherly, and Alaska Railroad Corporation President and CEO Bill O’Leary.

“During the Friday breakfast session, we had a surprise visit from Senator Click Bishop, who stopped by to give us a sneak preview of the capital budget and his insight on what’s happening in Juneau,” AGC Executive Director Alicia Amberg reported to the AGC board. “Thank you to all AGC board members who traveled far and wide to join us, some for the first time in two years! We hope you continue to engage with leadership and provide us with feedback on how we can better serve your businesses and our industry.”
