The Calista Corporation has announced a second dividend for shareholders this year. The Akilista dividend is based on the corporation's investments and will total $2.2 million this year, 10 percent higher than last year. This is in addition to the spring dividend based on Calista's profits.
Two point two million dollars breaks down to $1.67 per share with shareholders owning about 100 shares each. The payment will be released by November 21. Calista Board Chair Margaret Pohjola says because some shareholders live outside the region, the total distribution in the Delta will amount to about $1.37 million at a time when residents are preparing for winter energy costs.
