Everhart, At Large

Ex-Officio Larry Cash, At Large Timothy Vig, At Large Lon Wilson, At Large Greg Pearce, At Large Hello and welcome to the 2017 Annual Report for the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation! On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff at AEDC, we are pleased to share the efforts AEDC championed during 2017 to make Anchorage a great city in which to live, work, play and invest. The past few years have been tough for Anchorage, but thankfully things started to look up in late 2017 with overall job losses moderating. Our current situation is the first recession our city has seen since the mid-1980s and has caused issues that Anchorage residents have not had to deal with in decades. Although today’s recession is considerably milder than the previous recession that resulted in 10% of the total jobs being lost in Anchorage, the loss of 1.5% of total jobs in 2017 was felt across Anchorage’s economy. AEDC has worked even tirelessly to arm Anchorage residents and the business community with factual economic information so community leaders and citizens of Anchorage can advocate for sound decision making in the face of the ongoing recession. You’ll see the results of these efforts in the number and scope of the reports AEDC produced, and our myriad initiatives championed in 2017. With over 200 volunteers and nearly 160 partner businesses, organizations and agencies, Live. Work. Play. achieved marked progress in its efforts to make Anchorage a city in which people would want to invest in and live. From working with other organizations on a plan to make building small-scale housing more accessible, to helping make trails safer and more pleasant, AEDC remains very confident that we can succeed in addressing the many challenges our city must overcome to achieve the Live.Work.Play. vision. AEDC’s continued focus on the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport as a pivotal element in the future success of the Anchorage economy remained front and center in 2017. The Alaska AeroNexus® Alliance was a major step forward in growing the partnership between the Municipality of Anchorage, the Alaska International Airport System and AEDC. AEDC continued to assist new and existing businesses in 2017 by providing advice and support to 127 businesses. We’ve worked to expand our reporting offerings to businesses so that they feel confident in their investments – because investment is crucial for our economy right now. The Anchorage Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (ACEDS), a partnership between the Municipality of Anchorage, Northrim Bank, the Port of Alaska, and AEDC will be approved by the appropriate parties in Spring of 2018 and implemented later in the year – providing Anchorage with much needed direction to diversify and grow its economy. The ACEDS will put into place vital strategies for growing the Anchorage economy in the years to come. Although the past few years have been tough – AEDC, our Board of Directors, and our Investors Council look forward to what the future may bring for Anchorage. Our mission to grow and diversify the Anchorage economy is still forefront and we’re working to make changes every day. Sincerely,

Bill Popp, President & CEO | AEDC

2017 was a busy year for Live. Work. Play. In January, the latest metrics were released digitally and published in the latest issue of STRIVE Magazine, distributed to attendees at the 2018 Anchorage Economic Forecast Luncheon.

Internships + Innovation In 2017, the LWP Workforce Development Area of Focus created the first-ever Internship Playbook, a guiding document for local companies looking to establish or enhance their business’s internship program. Packed with best practices and research-based strategies for success, the playbook is THE distributed free via AEDCWeb.com. INTERNSHIP PLAYBOOK Besides the publication of the playbook, this initiative included the creation of the Employer Internship Network -- a group of local businesses commit- ed to workforce development through intern training, networking and other activities.

Anchorage Cares Outreach Launched in the fall of 2016 by the LWP Community Safety Area of Focus, the “Anchorage Cares” initiative aims to reduce panhandling by discouraging Anchorage residents from giving money to panhandlers and instead urging them to give directly to local homeless service agencies through the website, www.anchoragecares.org. In March 2017, the committee brought together major businesses in town to raise additional funds and expand the campaign to have broader reach over the next three years, beginning in May 2017, and to have new point-in-time panhandling counts, conducted by researchers at the UAA Department of Justice, to track the impact of the campaign over time. Anchorage Cares campaign signs were posted at Easy Park Locations, Fifth Avenue Mall, Diamond Mall and People Mover buses, and in December 2017, Anchorage Cares launched its first video campaign -- a 30-second animated video featuring a few of the statistics surrounding panhandling in Anchorage. The video drew more than 10,000 views within the first two weeks of its release in mid-December. Area of Focus Updates

Housing In 2017, the Live. Work. Play. Housing Area of Focus successfully advocated for the initiation of a feasibility study for a Storm Water Utility (SWU). A SWU is a unified entity formed to manage storm drainage for the entire city, connecting the existing patchwork system of drainage, which creates significant flooding and environmental issues in streams and lakes and presents major infrastructure obstacles for housing developers. The Housing Area of Focus also helped gain the Anchorage Planning and Zoning Commission approval for an ordinance that would make it easier for homeowners to build Accessory Dwelling Units, also known as “mother-in-law apartments.” These units would allow for increased housing options for young people and seniors looking for smaller scale housing in residential areas.

Creative Placemaking The Creative Placemaking continues working to develop a private local arts council in Anchorage, and in 2017 held three meetings of arts community stakeholders to further explore the feasibility of such a project. The first meeting included major arts funders (Rasmuson Foundation, Block Foundation, Atwood Foundation, ConocoPhillips, Alaska Airlines, and the Municipality); the second meeting included the major arts organizations in Anchorage (the Anchorage Museum, Anchorage Concert Association, Anchorage Symphony Orchestra, Cyrano’s, Perseverance Theater, Anchorage Artists Co- Op). Both groups endorsed the idea of an arts council and requested some additional information about three forms that the council might take, either as a stand-alone 501(c)3, as a donor-advised fund at the Alaska Community Foundation, or as a program within an existing nonprofit in Anchorage.

Community Safety Working to increase safety on Anchorage streets, sidewalks and trails, the LWP Community Safety Area of Focus continuing outreach and public engagement through the Anchorage Cares anti-panhandling campaign, and fundraised for the installation of emergency locators throughout local trail systems. In 2017, this area of focus also joined forces with the Trails Area of Focus to provide Green Dot bystander intervention training for Trail Watch volunteers and trail enthusiasts.

Trails initiative The Trails Initiative of Live. Work. Play. raised $200,000 in sponsorships towards the new Trails Wayfinding project, which includes building and installing maps and signs along the Anchorage trail system (see an example to the right,) to help residents and visitors get around safely. Mile markers were installed along the Chester Creek trail in summer 2017, and the remainder of the signs will be installed on the Chester Creek and Coastal Trails in 2018. The LWP Trails Initiative also partnered with the Community Safety Area of Focus to host two trails safety events, promoting membership in Trail Watch and teaching trail users strategies to safely intervene in potentially dangerous situations.

Education/Workforce Development In 2017, the Workforce Development Area of Focus hosted three Jobs Skills Boot Camps. Led by local business leaders, these half-day sessions are intended to provide soft skills and professionalism training to job seekers in low-income/high- unemployment areas across Anchorage. The Workforce Development Area of Focus also developed two first-of-their kind publications designed to benefit local employers. The Millennial Workforce Survey Report -- based off feedback from more than 1,100 young Alaskans -- will help local employers attract and retain the strongest workforce possible, while the Internship Playbook is designed to help Anchorage companies establish or enhance their internship programs. Both reports are available for free at AEDCWeb.com.

One Anchorage, One Economy As part of our commitment to representing every member of our diverse economy, Live. Work. Play. supported the 2017 PrideFest celebration by providing rainbow flags and bunting to more than half a dozen downtown Anchorage businesses. Airport Business Development

ALASKA AERONEXUS® ALLIANCE In 2017, AEDC staff worked to attract new investment to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and adjacent areas through targeted outreach and site marketing, offering networking and research assistance services and tailored investment proposals to both international companies and local entrepreneurs.

AERONEXUS LETTERS OF INTEREST After six major Anchorage companies formally expressed interest in discussing commercial development and financing options in and around the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, AEDC published a press release that generated coverage by at least three national publications: American Shipper, Air Cargo News and 247CustomsBroker. A major national airport property developer contacted AEDC as a direct result, and discussions with this developer are ongoing.

INVESTMENT PROPOSALS In 2017, AEDC delivered detailed investment proposals to more than 18 companies in various logistics and electronics sectors. To strengthen the ability to deliver such proposals, we have identified multiple real estate options for industry sectors ranging from pharma to automotive and consumer electronics. In 2017, AEDC also met with the Municipality of Anchorage’s Office of Economic & Community Development to discuss the possibility of establishing a local site certification program -- a process by which a landowner and community conduct due diligence on specific land parcels to certify they are “development ready”. The Municipality is reviewing the requirements of site certification and its existing capacity to oversee such a program.

CONFERENCES ATTENDED IN 2017 INCLUDE: • California Regional Investigational Supplies Professionals (CRISP) Meeting (March 22-23) • Outsourcing Clinical Trials Conference (May 22-24) • SelectUSA Investment Summit (June 19-20)

BY THE NUMBERS Attendance at targeted industry events and direct outreach to decision-makers resulted in numerous one-on-one meetings with companies (totals below). Business & Economic Development

BUSINESS ATTRACTION E-NEWS In 2017, AEDC launched the Business Attraction E-news, distributed to commercial site selectors and packed with real estate opportunities, demographic information and emerging windows of opportunity within the Anchorage workforce. The first newsletter covered emerging opportunities within Anchorage’s retail sector, opportunities connected to a proposed Alaska Liquefied Natural Gas project and extra capacity at the Port of Alaska; the second newsletter covers burgeoning local workforce development initiatives and increasing activity -- and opportunities -- along the North Slope. With a preliminary 25 percent open rate, the newsletter performs nearly 5 percent above the industry average.

COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AEDC has completed commissioned work on Anchorage’s Comprehensive Economic Development Plan -- a five-year economic development plan that provides a vehicle for individuals, organizations, government agencies, learning institutions and private industry to engage in a meaningful conversation about what capacity-building efforts would best serve economic development for Anchorage. The CEDS also provides the Anchorage community the opportunity to qualify for EDA assistance under its Public Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance programs. In 2017, AEDC staff incorporated targeted feedback from steering committee members and other stakeholders and designed and compiled the preliminary report in anticipation of a second public comment period in January 2018. The final document has since been submitted to the Mayor’s Office for final review and transmission to the Anchorage Assembly.

STARTUP ASSISTANCE AEDC worked with several community partners to stimulate and foster business growth for minority, low income, and immigrant entrepreneurs, exploring possible projects in the model of REVOLVE Detroit, a collaborative program that activates vacant storefronts with transformational businesses and art installations. After completing a case study of the entrepreneurial resources available for minorities, immigrants and refugees in the Municipality of Anchorage, including a set of recommendations to address barriers going forward, AEDC concluded Anchorage currently lacks the foundational infrastructure, specifically technical assistance and microlending, to establish a program like REVOLVE Detroit.

E-NEWSLETTER - AEDC MILLENNIAL WORKFORCE SURVEY Millennials today make up more than a third of Anchorage’s population and a growing part of our local work- force. To help local employers attract and retain the strongest workforces possible, AEDC gathered feedback from more than 1,100 Anchorage millennials, compiling the findings into the first-ever Anchorage Millennial Workforce Survey Report (available for free download at AEDCweb.com).

ANCHORAGE COST OF LIVING INDEX The Cost of Living Index, released annually, compares the prices of consumer goods and services in Anchorage with more than 260 other communities around the country, giving Anchorage residents and businesses a tangible measure of the cost of life in Alaska.

BUSINESS CONFIDENCE INDEX SURVEY The tenth annual Business Confidence Index survey was conducted by AEDC staff in partnership with McDowell E-NEWSLETTER - LWP Group. The survey was fielded from Nov. 9 - Dec. 22, 2017 and collected a record 338 responses.

2016 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA {Cost of Living Index} Anchorage Economic Development Corporation collects cost of living data for Anchorage that measures the relative price of consumer goods and services.

Anchorage’s overall index in 2016 was 130.2, or 130.2 percent of the national average. Another way of looking at it would be to say that the cost of living in Anchorage is 30.2 percent higher than the average American city.

Anchorage Consumer Fifth Edition 2017 | July Optimism Index: Q1 2017 Sponsored by: Report compiled by:

The ANCi is a measure of Anchorage households’ optimism in the health of the local economy, their personal financial situation and their expectations for the future.Northern Economics, Inc. generates the ANCi using data Anchorage collected by a random quarterly sample of at least 350 households located in the Municipality of Anchorage. The survey sample includes households with landlines, those with landlines and cell phones and those households which only use cell phones. The analysis weighs all responses for demographic factors such as gender, age and income to insure the sample’s responses are representative of Anchorage’s population. Employment Report The ANCi is expressed using a value of 0 to 100. Values above 50 represent optimism in the economy, while values below 50 indicate lack of optimism. The farther the ANCi is from the midpoint, the stronger the aggregate feeling of optimism or lack thereof. 50.6

0 25 50 75 100

Not Optimistic Optimistic

RESULTS CO-SPONSORED BY:

In 2017 Q1, ANCi dropped down from the previous quarter but was still slightly higher, at 50.6, than it had been for the first three quarters of 2016. The more Q1 2017 stable six-month moving average of the index rose to 51.3, slightly above the crucial reading of 50 that signals a contractionary or recessionary period. Had it not been for the 3.9-point increase in personal financial confidence component of the index, the 50.6 drops in local economic confidence and expectations for the future would have put the index in recessionary territory this quarter. During the same time, the U.S. consumer confidence was strong. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index® rose 11.9 points from December to March, a substantial increase, though the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index dropped 1.3 points amid mixed opinions with an increase in current conditions but a decrease in future expectations. Election uncertainty has been replaced with turmoil in Washington D.C., with the headline repeal of the Affordable Care Act being dropped at the eleventh hour. In Alaska, fiscal concerns remain without concrete progress toward resolution, and the local cuts to state funding and job losses in the private sector cast a shadow over Alaska’s near-term future and what the economy may look like when the storm has passed. Despite the uncertainty in Juneau, what is known is that there will be less money in residents’ pockets in the future—through reduced Permanent Fund Dividends and increased taxes and fees—or lower state savings and a reduced ability to respond to the fiscal crisis in the future.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP EXHIBIT HALL AT JULY LUNCHEON The 2017 3-Year Outlook Luncheon featured the largest Entrepreneurship Exhibit Hall to date, with 17 Alaska entrepreneurs showcasing their startup companies to hundreds of local business leaders. AEDC Utilities Working Group

Based on input from local businesses and Investors, in the fourth quarter of 2016 AEDC formed a business working group to evaluate the current status of the local electric grid and the two major providers -- ML&P and Chugach Electric Association. The Working group met four times over the ensuing months and engaged with the local power company’s leadership and a national consultant on power companies.

The Utilities Working group made three recommendations regarding consolidating services, and delivered the recommendations to ML&P, CEA and the Municipality of Anchorage. Both the Mayor’s office and the Anchorage Assembly approved ML&P entering into a discussion with CEA about a possible merger, and CEA also has agreed to enter into the discussion. In April 2017, Anchorage voters approved the ballot proposition necessary to advance the project -- and potential utility merger -- to the next stage of the regulatory process.
