Today's Highlights

Join us at the Westmark on Tuesday, June 4th at 12 PM to hear from Brian Murkowski, president of the North Slope Railroad Company, as he explains the viability of extending rail service to Prudhoe Bay. A rail to the North Slope can help Alaska meet its energy demands in addition to reducing industrial traffic through the state.

Jo A. Kuchle, attorney of CSG, Inc., will dive into the Corporate Transparency Act which took effect on January 1, 2024, and requires LLC’s, corporations, and registered partnerships to report owners, beneficial owners, and controllers of those entities to FinCEN using its website. There are criminal and steep civil penalties for failure to comply. This presentation will discuss what local business owners must do to comply and, they must comply.
