AAC 50 Regulations Training Sessions and the Northern District Workshop
are Postponed
This postponement is due to the unexpected length
of the federal review and approval process of the regulations. The
delay has affected DGC's ability to prepare the training materials
for the December workshops and DCED's ability to prepare for the
Northern District Workshop. We apologize for any inconvenience this
may cause you.
If you have any questions about the regulations training, please
contact Randy Bates, Division of Governmental Coordination, at 907-465-8797,
or by email at: randy_bates@gov.state.ak.us
If you have questions about the Northern District Workshop contact
John Gliva, Department of Community and Economic Development, at
907-269-4588, or by email at: john_gliva@dced.state.ak.us |
