Alaska gas line corporation opening Nikiski office

Alaska’s state-sponsored corporation is working to advance a major gas line project is opening a field office in Nikiski.

It will be the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation’s third satellite office. The corporation also has a presence in Houston, Texas, and Tokyo.

Rosetta Alcantra, a corporation spokeswoman, says the new office will allow Nikiski residents to have in-person contact with an agency representative. Nikiski is the proposed site for the project’s liquefaction plant.

Ms Alcantra says the community has long asked AGDC to open an office there.

She said the office lease and staffing would cost about US$7,950 a month. The office will be staffed by Debra Holle Brown.

Ms Alcantra said the money would come from the Alaska liquefied natural gas project fund.
