Nick Begich Wanted To Introduce Legislation That Would “Allow Greater Access To Rural Areas Of Alaska”

Begich Wanted To Introduce Legislation That Would “Allow Greater Access To Rural Areas Of Alaska.” “We must introduce legislation that will allow greater access to rural areas of Alaska through roads, rail, and ports. The resources necessary for our nation and our state’s prosperity are abundant within Alaska, but are often stranded as a result of underinvestment in Alaskan infrastructure. Legislation should provide for streamlined right-of-way access through Federal lands and supportive access reform that will allow Alaskans to unlock the incredible potential of our state.” [Juneau Empire, 8/12/22]
