It is the intent of AS 18.25.070 - 18.25.110 to assist communities and areas in developing and improving health service facilities by the purchase, construction, renovation, or establishment of hospitals, health centers, or clinics, or quarters for personnel, and the purchase of furnishings, supplies, and equipment and making the other expenditures necessary to carry out the purpose of AS 18.25.070 - 18.25.110. Assistance is to be given in areas that would otherwise be denied adequate facilities, because the taxable values are limited in scope and an attempt at total community financing of a project would cause hardship or prevent its realization. It is also intended that the department utilize the money authorized under AS 18.25.070 - 18.25.110 so far as can be arranged to assist municipalities in matching funds with the federal government under federal law.
