The Copper River Valley is rich in natural resources that have sustained communities for generations. At the Copper Valley Development Association (CVDA), we are committed to supporting responsible and sustainable development of these resources to strengthen our local economy while preserving the land, water, and traditions that define our region.
Our Approach
We believe that natural resource development can be a powerful driver of economic opportunity—when done thoughtfully. Our approach is guided by:
Stewardship of the Land
We prioritize practices that protect the environment and respect the cultural and ecological significance of the Copper River Basin.
Community Benefit
Development projects should create jobs, support local businesses, and contribute to the well-being of our communities.
Balanced Growth
We support a diversified economy that includes responsible resource development alongside tourism, agriculture, and renewable energy.
