ReImagine Appalachia’s Second Annual Shuttered Coal Plant Summit aimed to explore the opportunities for redeveloping the shuttered coal plant sites located throughout the Appalachian region. Throughout the summit, the importance of including labor and seeking community input were underscored as a means of creating good jobs and rooting the prosperity generated by redevelopment within local communities. Though redeveloping brownfields present a number of challenges, Appalachia’s shuttered coal plants also offer valuable assets that could support the future of sustainable manufacturing in the region.
