Alaska Gasline Port Authority loses member

The Alaska Gasline Port Authority has lost one of its three original members.

The North Slope Borough has dropped out of the authority, which was created in 1999 by public votes in Fairbanks and Valdez and on the North Slope, to bring natural gas to more Alaskans.

The North Slope Borough Assembly voted the first week of May to back out of the authority.

The authority originally called for building a pipeline and gas liquefaction project between North Slope natural gas reservoirs and the Port of Valdez. The organization has since shifted focus and is proposing a trucking operation and distribution plan in Fairbanks.
