Goldbelt is a?merit-based?corporation operating across diverse industries, including tourism and commercial business in Alaska, and high-performing federal contracting in cybersecurity, IT, construction, logistics, to support national security, as well as construction engineering, healthcare and other services to support critical public infrastructure.
