Make it in Appalachia: Transforming Shuttered Coal Plants into Modern Manufacturing Hubs

Join ReImagine Appalachia for the release of their new white paper on Developing Shuttered Coal Plants into Eco-Industrial Park. Many of the coal power plants that once powered the nation now sit vacant and unused across Appalachia. How can we repurpose these sites to reinvigorate local industry?

At this virtual zoom event, they will explain the components of successful eco-industrial park models and discuss how co-location and waste stream sharing can increase collective efficiency and strengthen Appalachian manufacturing into an advanced sector that supports a prosperous future for the region.

Following a presentation on the research, there will be time for a discussion and a chance to ask any questions. Their goal is to create resources to support community leaders working to transform Appalachia into a manufacturing hub for the new clean economy.
