For generations, the men and women working in America’s Energy Communities fueled the nation’s prosperity
Today, the federal government is committed to providing leadership, and working with coal, oil and gas, and power plant communities to:
Create good-paying jobs
Spur economic revitalization
Remediate environmental degradation
Support energy workers
The Getting Started Guide is intended to help communities and workers start the process of planning or responding to economic and social changes resulting from coal mine and power plant closures.
This step-by-step guide and planning tool is designed to be applicable to any stage of economic transition. It is meant to help community leaders, volunteers, change agents and other eligible entities access federal funds to address economic resiliency.
