JUNEAU, Alaska, Oct. 1, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Alaska Power and Telephone Company (AP&T) has been named “Business of the Year” by the Southeast Conference, a federally designated economic development organization. I will announce what happened. A district in the Southeastern Alaska region. The award recognizes “exceptional leadership and investment in innovative projects in Southeast Alaska,” and follows a busy decade of clean energy and broadband efforts in many communities across the region. It's a thing.
The Southeast Conference was established in 1958 for the state of Alaska to foster the development of a regional transportation system that later became the Alaska Marine Highway System. Since then, we have grown to include more than 185 member organizations and individuals, including most of the region's local governments, chamber organizations, federally recognized tribes, major employers, government agencies, and more.
“The SE Conference Business of the Year Award is one of the highest honors an Alaska-based company like ours can receive, and we are truly grateful for it,” said AP&T CEO Bill Marks. We couldn't have been more successful.” This award would not have been possible without the support and collaboration we have received over the years from tribes, Alaska Native businesses, local governments, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, elected officials, contractors, and of course the hard-working men and women of AP&T. I couldn't. We are all grateful and AP&T looks forward to continuing to work together for the benefit of the communities we serve. ”
The Southeast Conference works to promote economic development in areas such as transportation, energy, marine industries, seafood, and tourism. The company was recently selected as the recipient of a $38.6 million U.S. EPA grant to install heat pumps in numerous communities in Southeast Alaska, including various AP&T service areas.
