Other Industry Sectors The needs and opportunities of the various other industry sectors not profiled independently in this analysis are too great for a comprehensive discussion or listing of recommendations for recovery and renewed growth. However, a few prescriptions that we consider useful are presented below:
Discussions with utility companies to explore additional, environmentally friendly generation and transmission on and through tribal lands to boost local capabilities and generate new construction demand Active pursuit of enhanced internet and cellular connectivity for tribal government, residents and businesses Direct negotiations with lenders and financial institutions to adjust payment terms and increase lines of credit to support ongoing operations during the crisis and new growth and recovery efforts afterwards Exploration of funds availability for single and multi-family housing development for tribal members to support construction businesses and improve tribal living conditions. Exploration of funds availability for educational repair and renovation to support construction businesses and improve tribal living conditions. Analysis of in-home impediments to telehealth and other remote health initiatives and rectification of the impediments, including lobbying for and pursuing grants and loans to improve health care effectiveness for remote and elderly tribal members Evaluation of other cost savings and possible wage cuts to preserve tribal government jobs rather than resorting to layoffs during the crisis Pursuit of multiple tribal member focus groups during and after the crisis to explore ideas for dealing with the downturn and increasing opportunities during and after recovery
