The Matanuska-Susitna Borough introduced a resolution to negotiate a Payment-in-Lieu-of-Tax (PILT) agreement with developers of the Alaska LNG Project during a borough assembly meeting on February 3. A public hearing is planned for February 17.

The PILT serves as an alternative to traditional property taxes based on property value. Governor Mike Dunleavy advocates for discussions on local tax issues related to the project. Borough manager Mike Brown is involved in an informal tax working group with other boroughs including North Slope, Fairbanks North Star, and Kenai.
