A Pribilof Island community of less than 400 people has received more than $250,000 in federal funds to train locals to work at its commercial aircraft test range.
The Aleut Community of St. Paul Island Tribal Government (ACSPI) announced it was one of seven recipients nationwide to receive the Economic Development Administration s STEM Talent Challenge grant Tuesday.
The ACSPI s aircraft test range will be through a partnership with Sabrewing Aircraft Company, a drone manufacturing company out of California.
The test range is expected to begin operations in the fall, according to ACSPI Project Manager Dylan Conduzzi. He says this grant will give tribal and community members access to technical training.

Print article Jan. 23, 2021, is the 50th anniversary of Alaska’s all-time lowest temperature: minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit, recorded by a weather observer at Prospect Creek Camp. Now a clearing in the woods, Prospect Creek Camp was located near the confluence of Prospect Creek and the Jim River, just north of the Arctic Circle and about 160 miles north of Fairbanks. The camp was there to house workers building the trans-Alaska pipeline. The high temperature at Prospect Creek Camp that January day in 1971 was minus 64 degrees. The warmest air people in Allakaket (about 56 miles away) felt the next day was minus 66 degrees, which is still Alaska’s record for the lowest high temperature of any day.
