Visionary work. Meaningful impact.

UA CED is a program of the University of Alaska Anchorage Business Enterprise Institute and is one of 52 University Centers designated by the U.S. Economic Development Administration.

 

How can we help you?

UA CED leverages the resources of the university system to support economic growth in Alaska. We provide technical assistance in the form of information and data, and implement projects and programs that promote economic development across the state. We are guided by our mission to promote economic diversity through entrepreneurship, community building, and action-oriented strategy.

Our work spans Alaska, from rural villages to urban cities. We welcome projects that provide the chance to learn more about our great state while working to advance economic opportunities for our fellow Alaskans. Our clients include government entities, corporations, tribal organizations, non-profits, and more.

 Legislative Fact Sheets

Data often influences legislators’ decision-making, but finding the information they need, when they need it, can be challenging. Information broken down by district can be especially hard to find.  

UA CED created the 2024 Economic and Demographic Factsheets as a way to provide quick, handy reference information that’s relevant to legislators when making decisions impacting their districts. We’ve included indicators like population, educational attainment, income levels, use of public benefits, and more. We hope this is useful to lawmakers, their staff, journalists, and members of the public.
