<p>The National Association of Counties (NACo) proudly announces the final selection of communities and local leaders to participate in the Building Resilient Economies in Coal Communities (BRECC) initiative, a Community of Practice supported by the U.S. Economic Development Administration. </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>“The U.S. Economic Development Administration is committed to supporting coal communities currently facing and experiencing transition,” said Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development Alejandra Y. Castillo. “Through the Building Resilient Economies in Coal Communities initiative, we’re delighted to recognize and support the 20 local leaders and eight community teams who were selected to participate in the Commitment <em>Coal</em>ition and Action Challenge. They represent the innovative, entrepreneurial leadership that is needed to help coal communities across America build and access new opportunities for growth in the years ahead.” </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>Selectees span across 13 states and will receive technical assistance and peer learning support to strengthen and grow opportunities in local economies that have been shaped by coal industries. BRECC’s programming will build local capacity to pursue a wide range of economic revitalization strategies, including workforce retention and development, infrastructure and alternative energy, placemaking and outdoor recreation, entrepreneurial ecosystems and business development and sustainability and funding planning. BRECC’s Action Challenge will support community teams to create an economic diversification strategy, and the Commitment <em>Coal</em>ition will share best practices among community leaders through site visits and peer exchanges. </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>“Coal communities play a vital role in our nation’s economic prosperity” said Matt Chase, NACo’s CEO and executive director. “We are committed to helping coal communities increase the resilience and strength of their economies by leveraging NACo’s close relationships with local and federal stakeholders.” </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p>BRECC’s Action Challenge will connect eight community teams with economic development experts from NACo’s BRECC partners the West Virginia Community Development Hub, EntreWorks Consulting and Community Builders. For one year, the selected teams will receive one-on-one coaching to develop a locally-driven economic diversification strategy that empowers participating communities to identify and advance projects for economic revitalization.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>NACO IS DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY TEAMS PARTICIPATING IN BRECC’S ACTION CHALLENGE:<strong>Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission, Va.</strong>: In southwestern Virginia, the Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission is a regional Economic Development District serving the counties of Buchanan, Dickenson, Russell and Tazewell. With a regional approach, this team seeks to grow economic resilience through entrepreneurship and business development strategies.<strong>City of Richwood, Nicolas County, W.Va.</strong>: In central West Virginia, the City of Richwood is experiencing population loss tied to the decline of the local coal industry. Building on natural assets, this team looks to expand its outdoor recreation economy with a special focus on a local trail network.<strong>Counties of Apache, Coconino and Navajo, Ariz.</strong>: In Northern Arizona, the counties of Apache, Coconino and Navajo face the closure and decommissioning of several coal-fired power plants. Collaborating across county borders, this team will coordinate planning to create a complimentary, shared strategy for economic diversification.<strong>Floyd County, Ky.</strong>: In eastern Kentucky, Floyd County has seen a decline in coal production over the past three decades and recent flooding has exacerbated economic hardships. Led by a newly created long-term recovery group, this team will pursue opportunities in outdoor and cultural tourism as well as residential attraction.<strong>Pike County, Ind.</strong>: In southwestern Indiana, Pike County’s employment and tax base are closely tied to a coal-fired power plant slated to be decommissioned. This team will create a local strategy around business attraction and workforce retention goals.<strong>Perry County, Ohio</strong>: Perry County is facing the impact of its last two mines closing. This team will advance planning for placemaking economic development strategies.<strong>Northwest Colorado Development Council, Colo.</strong>: In Northwest Colorado, the Northwest Colorado Development Council serves the counties of Rio Blanco, Moffat and Routt, which face the impending closure of two coal-fired power plants. In partnership with a regional community college, this team will expand on strategies for advancing clean energy initiatives.<strong>San Juan County, N.M.</strong>: In northwest New Mexico, San Juan County is experiencing the closure of one coal-fired power plant and faces the impending closure of another.

<p>BRECC’s Commitment <em>Coal</em>ition will build a peer network of 20 coal community leaders, who will deepen their knowledge of economic resilience through national subject matter experts as well as their counterparts’ community-based experiences.

<p><em>VATI Award Will Help Create More Than 13,000 New High-Speed Internet Connections in Four Counties<br></em><br>BREAKS, Va. – Local leaders and community stakeholders joined Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and other<br>state representatives Monday in Dickenson County to celebrate the approval of more than $15.6 million<br>in Virginia Telecommunications Initiative (VATI) grant funding to the Cumberland Plateau Planning<br>District Commission for far-reaching fiber broadband expansion throughout the district’s four-county<br>area.<br>The funding – the largest such award for broadband in the history of the Commonwealth – allows the<br>CPPDC along with its private broadband partner, Point Broadband, to deploy residential and commercial<br>fiber broadband service to nearly 13,500 new potential connections in the counties of Buchanan,<br>Dickenson, Russell and Tazewell. The entirety of the project will impact homes and businesses that are<br>currently unserved or underserved by high-speed internet.<br>Monday’s event celebrating the recently-announced award was held at Breaks Interstate Park, not far<br>from where work has already begun by Point Broadband to expand the fiber broadband network.<br>“We could not be more impressed by Virginia’s commitment to rural broadband expansion, specifically<br>here in the coalfields of Southwest Virginia,” CPPDC Executive Director Jim Baldwin said following<br>Monday’s event. “Our sincere thanks go to Governor Northam and the entire VATI team that helped<br>make this historic project possible.”<br>Northam announced the VATI grant award in late January.</p>
