JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Matt Steele and his wife have imagined buying land for their kids so they can one day “live the Alaskan dream.” He says he sees a proposal by Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy, to let residents turn their oil-wealth checks into land vouchers, as a way to help make that a reality.
“Investing in land is something that I think is important,” said Steele, who is in real estate and lives near Wasilla at Meadow Lakes. The Steeles bought land for a daughter from a private seller and intended to put money away for land for their other two children, too, for when they're older, he said, but added it's been a tough few years. The state is recovering from an extended recession.
