COAL COMMUNITIES
COAL COMMUNITY RESOURCES
REAL AZ has made available resources to help our coal communities make the economic transition we are facing. These resources have been developed by our Building Resilient Economies in Coal Communities (BRECC) team, a three county team (Apache, Coconino and Navajo), along with our utility partners (APS, SRP and TEP) and community partners, (Local First Arizona and Community Builders), to help our coal communities diversify our local economies.
- The BRECC Executive Summary is the best place to start as you seek programs, resources and proven methods for diversifying coal communities.
- The BRECC Diversification Plan is full of programs, projects and funding opportunities which will help to rebuild local economies in the wake of the coal-fired power plant closures in our area. Please see links below.
Don’t hesitate to reach out, as we have developed an entire network of National, Regional, State and Local partners willing to share resources and expertise directly with you.
