This $15.7 million Project Grant from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration supports the Appalachian Climate Technology (ACT NOW) Coalition led by the Coalfield Development Corporation. The Coalition will spur job growth in 21 economically distressed, coal-impacted counties in southern West Virginia through clean energy and green economy initiatives. Products and services include developing a hub for solar power to support the transition from coal; implementing sustainable reuse projects on abandoned mine sites; rejuvenating brownfield sites with new facilities; and entrepreneurial programs to support employment. Generation West Virginia Inc. will receive funding to deliver these products and services aimed at strengthening regional industry clusters in a sustainable, equitable manner to create good-paying jobs and enhance U.S. competitiveness. Awarded on September 8, 2022, the funding falls under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program, which provides planning and infrastructure assistance to regions facing adverse economic changes.
