The Ambler Industrial Access Road is a sensible project and should be completed.  The amount of money necessary to complete the state's environmental work is small.  The potential in taxes and royalties to the state is significant.  The benefit to the Northwest Arctic Borough is huge.  

The road would allow communities along the route to obtain cheaper fuel oil, lower electrical costs and lower the costs associated with current transportation costs. 

While initially a restricted access road, much like the Dalton Highway was for several years, eventually the road would be open to the public.

Rural Alaska deserves the same benefits communities along the road and rail belt in Alaska enjoy. Build the road.
