For decades, the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) has wasted hard-earned public money on failed mega projects that tarnish our state’s future. Their latest venture? The proposed $600M West Susitna Industrial Access Road—a reckless development that threatens hundreds of local businesses and thousands of acres of unspoiled wild lands. The state should be investing in Alaskans and prioritizing funding for schools, essential services, and communities, not foreign mining interests.
Tell Alaska’s leaders to invest in Alaskans and stop funding for the West Susitna Industrial Access Road.
A stain on Southcentral Alaska
If AIDEA succeeds, the West Susitna Industrial Road will cut a 100+ mile industrial corridor through the heart of Alaska’s Susitna Region. The consequences would be devastating: desecrating the historic Iditarod Trail; destroying rivers, wetlands, and critical habitats; and threatening small businesses.

It’s time to clean house
Our state leaders finally have a chance to clean house and hold AIDEA accountable. They have the power to stop AIDEA’s wasteful spending and prioritize investments that truly benefit our communities.
