Corri Feige, the head of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, will resign June 30, she told Gov. Mike Dunleavy on Monday. The decision was made public Tuesday morning.
Since December, Dunleavy has also replaced the commissioners of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development and Administration. The Alaska Legislature confirmed Julie Sande to lead Commerce and Paula Vrana to head Administration.
Lorraine Henry, DNR’s communications director, said Feige was unavailable to speak about her decision to resign. Feige was one of Dunleavy’s original cabinet picks, and in her letter of resignation, she said her family has supported her for the past three and a half years but now, “Due to recent developments, the time has come for me to return the support my family has so generously shown.
DNR also encouraged the mining of rare-earth minerals used in electronics manufacturing. Feige said DNR has also begun work on a “carbon capture, use and sequestration industry in Alaska.” Feige said she believes the state “must continue to promote a strong timber industry in Alaska,” even amid federal opposition.
