The Alaska administration formed a public corporation intended to attract data centers to the state. This initiative is being led by the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, a state-owned corporation. The administration also transferred thousands of acres of state land to the Authority for an industrial park and approved a 50-year lease for a data center in the Arctic. The Authority previously sent $20 million to Alaska Data Corp. LLC.
