From the transcript
So we're not just handing out a tax treatment for a project that doesn't get built. And the tax framework only takes effect if the developer commits to 3 things: putting up the funding for the Municipal Impact Fund— that's between $40 and $80 million— signing a project labor agreement that covers all 3 major facilities, and building the Fairbanks Spur Line with construction starting within a year of getting the permits. So if there's no commitment on the developer's part, there's no tax abatement framework. Mr. Speaker, this means jobs for working Alaskans. The project labor agreement covers contractors for the gas treatment plant, the carbon capture facility, the LNG export facility, and the pipeline.
