The Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration awarded a $10.25 million Project Grant under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307) on September 8, 2022 to the City of Huntington, West Virginia. The funding will support the Appalachian Climate Technology coalition led by the Coalfield Development Corporation to spur job growth in 21 economically distressed counties in southern West Virginia impacted by the decline of coal. The coalition will establish a hub for clean energy and green economy jobs through sustainable reuse projects on abandoned mine lands, redeveloping brownfield sites for new facilities, and entrepreneurial programs. This aims to transition the region from coal to solar power and strengthen industry clusters in clean technologies, while embracing economic equity and creating good-paying jobs.
