Английская Википедия:Denali Commission
The Denali Commission is a federal agency in the US based in Anchorage, Alaska that provides critical utilities, infrastructure, and economic support throughout Alaska.[1]
History
It was established in 1998 by the Denali Commission Act of 1998 which was part of an omnibus appropriations bill.[2][3] Since 2015, it has been assisting Alaskan communities whose existence is threatened by rising sea levels caused by climate change.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
As of 2019, it has a budget of over $46 million.[10]
Governance
Modeled on the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Denali Commission is led by a Federal Co-Chair. Unlike similar commissions, the Federal Co-Chair for the Denali Commission is appointed by the Secretary of Commerce rather than by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.[11] As a single state commission, its state co-chair is the Governor of Alaska. The remaining membership consists of the University of Alaska president; the Alaska Municipal League president; the Alaska Federation of Natives president; the Alaska State AFL-CIO president; and the Associated General Contractors of Alaska president.[11]
