00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:07.402
There's so much that it makes a
difference because we're able to

2
00:00:07.402 --> 00:00:10.987
leverage more state money and
more local money with the

3
00:00:10.987 --> 00:00:14.829
federal money, that sometimes
the federal grant can plant a

4
00:00:14.829 --> 00:00:18.351
seed, give someone an
opportunity, and then there's so

5
00:00:18.351 --> 00:00:19.760
much more they can do.

6
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.912
We've been able to give people
the opportunity to go to a

7
00:00:22.912 --> 00:00:25.916
conference with the federal
money, and then they come back

8
00:00:25.916 --> 00:00:28.920
and tell the local government,
this is where I need to go.

9
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:30.920
This is something that helps me
do my job.

10
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.110
And if we weren't able to plant
those seeds, then they wouldn't

11
00:00:34.110 --> 00:00:36.000
get it able to continue to do
even more.

12
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.235
It feels like it's not just the
local partnership and it's not

13
00:00:39.235 --> 00:00:41.707
just the federal partnership,
It's not just flowing through

14
00:00:41.707 --> 00:00:43.520
US, it's we're all in
partnership together.

15
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.914
When I'm Alaska, come to do a
site visit, all of the people in

16
00:00:46.914 --> 00:00:50.309
our counties and communities are
so excited that they're there

17
00:00:50.309 --> 00:00:53.273
and to be able to share that
with them is just a great

18
00:00:53.273 --> 00:00:56.236
opportunity to showcase our
state and everything we're

19
00:00:56.236 --> 00:00:56.560
doing.
