A successful legislative strategy sends millions to Kodiak projects
In a year of austerity, Kodiak garnered funding for a slate of infrastructure projects thanks to a teamwork approach from its delegation to the Alaska Legislature. On Sunday, the Alaska Legislature adjourned after approving a $2.29 billion capital projects budget that includes $56 million in projects for House District 35, which includes all of the Kodiak Island Borough.
