The Shoreside Infrastructure Improvements Program allows NSEDC to provide assistance and funding for renovation and new construction of fish processing facilities, dock or harbor facilities, and other infrastructure, in accordance with NSEDC's capital investment guidelines. Through this program, NSEDC has invested in shoreside infrastructure throughout the region since 1993 including Shaktoolik fish processing plant improvements, construction of a new fish processing facility in Unalakleet, Nome Eskimo freezer plant upgrades, Savoonga and Koyuk ice delivery systems, a small halibut processor in Savoonga, Savoonga beach access improvements, construction of a floating dock in Nome, Small Boat Harbor Improvements in Nome, construction of the Norton Sound Seafood Center in Nome, a $3 million capital contribution to the Nome Harbor Improvements Project, purchase of fish processing equipment in Unalakleet, and the purchase of processing equipment for the Teller Fish & Meats Processing Plant and the purchase of a large vessel trailer in Nome to haul out and launch vessels. These projects are all instrumental in supporting salmon, crab and halibut commercial fishing in the region.
