$20 million secured for training




U.S. Sens. Ted Stevens and Lisa Murkowski and Congressman Don Young have secured $20 million for a program to train workers to help construct an Alaska natural gas pipeline.

The appropriation is included in tax incentives to encourage construction of either a natural gas pipeline to the Lower 48 or an all-Alaska pipeline to transport liquefied natural gas to tidewater.

The funding would be used to recruit and train adult and dislocated workers in Alaska, including Alaska Natives, in the skills required to construct and operate an Alaska gas pipeline system.
