Print article It appears officials in Alaska’s gas line agency are starting from scratch in their effort to secure more than $4 billion in federal money to jumpstart the Alaska LNG Project. While still in concept only, the $2 trillion-plus infrastructure plan unveiled by President Joe Biden at the end of March makes no mention of pipelines and discussion about natural gas infrastructure is limited to $16 billion for plugging and abandoning orphaned oil and gas wells and mines.

Gov. Mike Dunleavy is seen visiting the alternate care site set up last year at the Alaska Airlines Center in Anchorage to deal with potential hospital overflow from the COVID-19 pandemic. An emergency declaration allowed the site to be set up, as well as the suspension of some 200 regulations, but the administration is now working with legislators on more permanent fixes now that the declaration hasn’t been renewed.

State lawmakers and Dunleavy administration officials are working to untangle the red tape left after a messy end to Alaska’s COVID-19 state of emergency and see how much of it they still need.
