2007 Goals for the Year:
- We, the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee,
continue to study the importance of connections for the growing economic
opportunities and healthy communities. These connections include air,
water and land as well as utilities and communications to develop
our resources and reach effective markets.
- We recognize that the vast size of Alaska maximizes transportation
challenges at the local, regional and statewide levels.
- We understand that co-development of utility corridors and resource
pipelines alongside transportation projects are efficient and critical.
- We value the input from the University of Alaska and the contribution
they make to the development in our state and the understanding of
the needs of Alaskans. We continue to utilize them as a good source
of knowledge and understanding of the challenges we face.
- We understand the close connection between transportation and resource
development and must communicate the results of our two committees
regularly.
