Have you met our Senior Finance Manager, Kyla Byers? If not, it’s time to give her a warm welcome to our team, and three cheers to all she’s made possible since coming on board! Kyla joined ACLT part-time in 2025, and has transitioned to full-time this year. In her short time at the organization, she has already built transformational systems, guided the organization through financial strain by building scenario plans with staff and Board, and is leading us through the financing of a major capital project. We are so lucky to have her on our team, and can’t wait to see all that is possible under her leadership!

Kyla serves as ACLT’s Senior Finance Manager, bringing with her a decade of hands-on finance and operations experience as the founder/owner of a local farm-to-table grocery delivery company. Having navigated both the joys and challenges of running a small business, she is honored to bring her experience to the team and support entrepreneur development in the Anchorage community. She is especially excited to come full circle in her work with ACLT— not only was she a recipient of business assistance through Set Up Shop, but her very first connection to the organization was through an AmeriCorps VISTA position nearly two decades ago! In her free time, Kyla can be found playing outside, dancing kizomba, or hanging with her pup, Roscoe, at the dog park.

Cheers to you, Kyla!

You may have heard the exciting news that Anchorage is finally building a connector trail to connect the Ship Creek Trail to the Coastal Trail, with construction happening this summer! What you may not know is the fifteen years of public advocacy by the Mountain View community that went into the development of this trail. Back in 2012, residents of Mountain View gathered together to envision the future of their neighborhood. As part of that neighborhood planning process, in partnership with ACLT and the Mountain View Community Council, residents identified investing in the Ship Creek Trail as a high priority. The trail has always represented more than just a bike trail. It represents a reconnection of the Mountain View neighborhood to the rest of the city, just as the Bragaw overpass did before it. Connecting Mountain View to its surrounding neighborhoods means increased social, health, and economic benefits for residents, and increased visitors to Mountain View's commercial corridor.

After many years of speaking up about their beloved Ship Creek Trail, Mountain View residents will finally see their long-term vision come to life as the city invests in the final piece needed to connect the trail to the Coastal Trail. We're so grateful to Anchorage voters for making this possible, and to all of the organizations, volunteers, and elected officials who invested in the Ship Creek Trail journey over the last 10+ years. Thank you, Anchorage- we can't wait to see you on the trail! Read more about the story of the Ship Creek Trail and those who made it possible here:

You likely know Caleigha Gotthardt as our Set Up Shop Training Manager, responsible for mentoring dozens of entrepreneurs through our training programs each year. What you may not know is Caleigha is also a skilled, internationally recognized artist and accomplished business owner of HRAFN, where she sells her creations. This year, Caleigha was accepted into the Southwestern Association of Indian Arts' Santa Fe Art Market as one of just six artists from Alaska! The Santa Fe Art Market is the most prestigious and largest Indian art show and market in the country, with over 1,000 artists from 200 different tribal nations in attendance. Now in its 104th year, the juried application process for the Market is highly competitive, attracting far more talent than can fit. Caleigha was accepted not just as a vendor at the market, but as a part of the juried art show, where her creations will compete with other artists across the country.

Before Caleigha began working at ACLT, she was a participant in our very first Indigenous Peoples Set Up Shop cohort. As Set Up Shop became a part of her business journey, she became a part of ours- not long after, she joined our staff team to begin growing our Indigenous Peoples Set Up Shop program. Read more about Caleigha's journey and accomplishments at the link below!

If you’ve been through the Mountain View neighborhood lately, you may have noticed Mountain View Drive is under construction! The westbound lane of Mountain View Drive between Price and Bragaw is closed and rerouted temporarily until August 18th. For those that ride the bus, you can check Anchorage People Mover to find the new bus stop location during the closure. While we know this is a temporary disruption to traffic, it is projected to be over soon before school starts at Clark Middle School.

The good news is, the construction is us, and we can promise this project will be worth it! Any guesses as to what we’re cooking up?
