The Alaska Resource Development Council hosted its 41st annual Alaska Resources Conference on Wednesday, November 18. This year’s event was a single day, hosted online. As in years past, the presentations were from industry experts and provided an insight in to the past year as well as a look forward to the future of Alaska’s resource industry.
Not surprisingly, most presenters noted that they were pleased that Ballot Measure 1 was defeated and that tax policy wasn’t changed yet again. There were also concerns about what the new administration would mean for resource development. As has been the case in the past few years, the concern over a stable fiscal plan for the state weighed heavy on most presenters.
Mining did provide a bright spot for a year that saw many disappointments and most of the industries represented were looking forward to the start of recovery in 2021. The full agenda with presentations can be found at https://www.akrdc.org/conference.
