In related news, TCC is proud to announce that Fitch Ratings has upgraded TCC's bond rating to a AA-, an increase from the A+ rating the organization has maintained over the past several years. This means that TCC is in a strong financial position to continue investing in healthcare programs, infrastructure, and services across the region for years to come. The upgraded rating also helps TCC secure funding and financing at better rates, helping stretch resources further for the communities we serve. Now, turning to national news, TCC is raising concerns after the U.S. Department of Interior announced the transfer of significant acreage within the Dalton Utility Corridor to the state of Alaska. TCC says the decision could place important subsistence lands, wildlife habitat, and culturally significant areas at greater risk as development pressures increase across the region.
