About the ARDORs

In 1988, the Alaska Legislature established the ARDOR program in support of the belief that a locally driven initiative, in partnership with the State and other entities, could most effectively stimulate economic development to produce health, sustainable local economies. The Legislature has reauthorized the program several times since 1988, most recently in 2005.

The ARDOR program is based on the notion that locally driven initiatives, in partnership with the State, can most effectively stimulate economic development and produce healthy, sustainable local economies. The ARDORs are intended to:

  • enable communities to pool their limited resources, and work together on economic development issues;
  • develop partnerships among public, private and other organizations,
  • offer a technical, nonpartisan capacity to develop and implement an economic development strategy,
  • often have extensive experience with federal/State programs, and
  • provide needed technical assistance via direct links with local citizens.
