About Infrastructure Office Hour:

Infrastructure Office Hour is a weekly, collaborative opportunity for Alaska communities to navigate infrastructure projects together. These meetings are led via Zoom by AML staff and guest presenters who have expertise in related topics. We meet every Tuesday to discuss grants, upcoming opportunities, and guidance relating to infrastructure projects.  

Broad topics of conversation include resilience, water and wastewater, energy, and transportation. Learn about best practices, tips, and tools to participate in various programs to build and strengthen your municipality.

Contact Erin Reinders with questions about participating or presenting.
