From the transcript
We've seen our projects score better as we've put additional time and effort and strategy into those applications. Unfortunately, we have yet to receive any funding from the state of Alaska for either construction or major maintenance projects through this grant process. Something we've talked a lot about at the board level and have some conversations with our state legislative delegation. I think it's probably time for the state to really look at that program. I think it's due for an overhaul, but we continue to pursue this funding and do our due diligence to try to secure funds and support of the facilities that we oversee.
