Reversing Outmigration in Anchorage | Alaska Insight

A man and a woman sit at a desk with a second man on a TV monitor.
Lori Townsend is joined by Anchorage Assembly member Daniel Volland, and consultant Jeff Marcell of TIP strategies.

Anchorage and Alaska have seen a decade-long pattern of population decline. Birth rates are slowing, and more people are leaving the city than coming in. This leads to an undersized workforce for the available jobs, and less funding for schools as attendance numbers drop. In this episode of Alaska Insight, Lori Townsend speaks with Anchorage Assembly member Daniel Volland, and consultant Jeff Marcell of TIP strategies, to look at research and recommendations for how the city can reverse the trend of outmigration.
