What Makes Anchorage Special?

That’s the question we’re asking our community, and the response is clear. For a city this large, Anchorage offers a remarkable combination of access to the outdoors and a close-knit community.

Anchorage is improving, but we need your help to unite and convert investment into real community-defined value. That’s why we’re implementing the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS).  This plan will not only unlock federal funding for local projects, but more importantly will unite our community with a common vision, connecting local organizations and businesses together in the areas that matter most to build a better Anchorage.

AEDC believes in Anchorage and the time to act is now. With a membership of over 250 businesses partners dedicated to the betterment of Anchorage, AEDC can connect passionate organizations with effective leadership that will help move the needle on Anchorage’s economy.

If you love Anchorage, care about its communities, and believe it can be better than it is today, we want you to join us in our efforts to make this city world-class. Whether you can join a committee, become an advocate for Anchorage’s development, or have an idea to share on ways and places to improve, we want you involved.
