Nov. 3 webinar will advise communities on how to handle the transition when a power plant or coal mine shutters
The federal Interagency Working Group on Coal & Power-Plant Communities and Economic Revitalization is hosting a webinar to provide guidance to communities on how to best handle the transition when a power plant or mine shuts down. From the website: "This virtual event will provide information and best practices for addressing fundamental industrial change in a community. The program will offer a step-by-step guide to engaging on the topic in a community, a checklist of necessary activities, discussion of common experiences, case studies, resources, and a task list for developing a plan that addresses financial, employment, and social disruptions." The webinar will start at 1 p.m. ET Wednesday, Nov. 3, and will last about an hour and a half. Click here for more information or to register.
