Kodiak has something to be proud of. The Housing Action Plan, shaped by more than 200 Kodiak residents, has been selected for the 2026 Alaska Planning Conference, where planners from across the state will learn from it.

Ever wondered what happens behind a “STAFF ONLY” door? KEDC is offering three paid internships for current students and high-school or college graduates from 2023 onward.

Kodiak Economic Development Corporation's first Confidence Café brought together high school and college participants beginning their careers and established professionals with more than 20 years of workplace experience on Aug 11, 2026. Participants found value in strengthening their customer-service skills, workplace communication and professional confidence through practical, hands-on training at Bean & Bloom Coffeehouse.

KEDC and RCAC provided no-cost private well assessments and water testing at 15 Kodiak Island properties. The work supported Borough households and connected residents with City-based businesses that provide well-related services and supplies.

Shared information helps Kodiak make better decisions. KEDC gathers local input, organizes what we learn, and shares it back through reports, dashboards, forums, surveys, and public updates.
