Rindi White

Associate Editor

The newest member of the Alaska Business Publishing Company team has been part of the magazine’s extended family for years. As Staff Writer, Rindi White formalizes her previous status as a freelance writer and editor. Her byline has appeared in Alaska Business many times, and she has a regular role as editor of The Alaska Contractor, a quarterly magazine for the Associated General Contractors of Alaska.  Her new responsibilities include writing regularly for Alaska Business and posting articles and event notices to the akbizmag.com website.

Writing is a byproduct of White’s obsession with reading. She recalls burying her nose in a book during the hour-long bus ride to school while growing up in Montana. White earned a degree in English literature at Montana State University in Bozeman and learned the journalism trade at the campus newspaper. She worked for the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman for five years and was part of the Valley reporting team for the Anchorage Daily News. As a freelancer, she wrote for The Alaska Contractor, ten years before she became its editor.

Mapping Whittier’s Future
September 2026

What happens when a city with fewer than 300 residents becomes a major freight and tourism hub, despite being accessible only by boat, plane, or a one-lane highway/railroad tunnel managed on a strict schedule?

If you’re in the City of Whittier, you get busy. The city has two separate transportation planning efforts underway, including a safety action plan under the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All initiative, which focuses on improving safety for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and emergency responders. The second is Whittier Moves, the city’s transportation master plan, which serves as the long-term roadmap for growth.
