Matanuska-Susitna Borough

The Matanuska-Susitna Borough is a local government with geography nearly the size of Scotland. It has long been the fastest growing community in Alaska. The Borough has some 854 employees including part-time, full time, and temporary employees with specialities in emergency response, mapping, internet technology, communications, human resources, land management, engineering and construction, recreation, among many more. Tremendous construction activity is underway or in the queue in the Mat-Su, $100 million in road projects, $50 million in a rail project, and the beginning of $214 million in school bond projects. Such work leads to new jobs, often in the private sector. Such infrastructure development is not happening anywhere else in the state.
