Bristol Man Calls Alaska Boomtown Due to Government Jobs
Norman Hibbert told the Bristol Rotary Club that Alaska’s boomtown conditions stem from high wages in government construction. He warned of a weak local industry and agriculture, noted temporary settlers, and described airfield work, climate hardships, and rising living costs as incentives to leave. He cited Matanooska Valley dust bowl farms and Army projects as partial fixes while stressing permanent development and transportation.
