During the July SAME Anchorage Post Luncheon, we will hear about the findings from the last Report Card for Alaska's Infrastructure. Over 40 volunteers from the ASCE Alaska Section studied 12 categories to include in the Report Card. These comprehensive assessments highlight some of the major issues, recommendations, and improvements since the release of the 2017 Report Card. The core mission of the Infrastructure Report Card is to provide the public, legislators, and decision makers with a comprehensive and concise summary to implement key solutions that will help raise the grades for our infrastructure. As Alaska receives the historic investment from the $1.2 Trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Key Solutions identified in the Report Card will play a critical role in making this a valuable and lasting investment in infrastructure for all Alaskans.
