The Key to Southeast Alaska’s Economic Future
and Quality of Life
More jobs
More opportunities for local businesses
Safer communities
Better education
How will Broadband impact our communities
so that we can create an effective strategy
for our economic and social development?

Must be effective and affordable broadband infrastructure
 Must have realistic adoption and utilization strategies
Assessment of 19 Southeast Alaska Communities
Craig has been identified as the
proof of concept site to
demonstrate the ability of Central
Council of the Tlingit and Haida
Indian Tribes of Alaska to deploy
affordable broadband as part of a
nineteen community system.
•Establish approval and support from CCTHITA Business and Economic Development
•Establish approval and support from CCTHITA Executive Board
•Establish approval and support from Craig Community Association, POWTEC and
Klawock Cooperative Association
•Define a financial limit available from CCTHITA, Craig Community Association,
POWTEC and Klawock Cooperative Association.
•Establish a partnership with AP&T and ACS for the Prince of Wales Island.
•Complete a fully engineered solution complete with material lists and obtain hard
cost estimates from vendors and contractors for each phase, including local, backhaul
and POP costs
•Insure all other local business such as Craig CATV has an opportunity to participate or
establish a partnership if possible
•Obtain all necessary permits
