Anchorage Industries – Construction

Building in Alaska

For decades, building in Alaska meant starting in Anchorage. As the state’s construction hub, Anchorage is the backbone of Alaska’s industrial, commercial, residential, and infrastructure development, driving progress from the smallest villages to the largest cities.

With billions of dollars in construction projects on the horizon, Anchorage is at the epicenter of transformative growth. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has sent funding for transportation, wastewater, energy, telecom, and broadband projects statewide.

Today, Anchorage’s construction workforce is busier than ever, shaping the state’s future with every project. Whether building highways, expanding energy infrastructure, or building housing, Alaska’s future runs through Anchorage.
