Coronavirus and AGC of Alaska Update
We are here for you! State, Federal, and Local Regulations and Emergency Orders are coming out on an hourly basis. Please don’t hesitate to call or email ANY member of the AGC team for help or clarification on changes, mandates, and exemptions that impact construction. We will continue to send timely updates to our members, but we are fully available as a resource to you and your business during this challenging time.
AGC has been invited to participate in several state, federal, and local working groups to help craft exemptions, policies, and strategies related to economic relief efforts and construction activity. We are working around the clock to advocate on your behalf as we navigate through this crisis and build Alaska together. AGC has several staff members involved with the Mayor’s Economic Resiliency Task Force, which is acting to help shape the mitigation and recovery efforts to make them as effective and timely as possible. Such unity of purpose might be rare, but federal, state, and local governments are fully committed to the best possible policy response. Please continue to watch your emails and follow AGC on social media for updates that impact your business and our industry.
