AGDC tells House Finance that Alaska property tax is 10 times higher than competing LNG projects

AGDC officials said property tax restructuring has been identified as a critical economic lever since 2020, though they acknowledged waiting until late March 2026 to bring legislation forward was a timing mistake.
