Coal Communities Commitment
In addition to the programs described above, the EDA has also earmarked $300 million to support coal communities that have been impacted by the pandemic. According to the EDA website, the money will be used “to help them create new jobs and opportunities, including through the creation or expansion of a new industry sector.”
“Specifically, EDA will dedicate $100 million of its Build Back Better Regional Challenge funds and $200 million of its Economic Adjustment Assistance funds to directly support coal communities. EDA also supports these communities through its Assistance to Coal Communities (ACC) initiative.”
“Through ACC, EDA awards funds on a competitive basis to assist communities impacted by the declining use of coal through activities and programs that support economic diversification, job creation, capital investment, workforce development, and re-employment opportunities.”
Institutions of higher education located in coal communities could seek EDA funding to provide technical training in likely areas of diversification, such as renewable resources and alternative energy solutions, such as solar and wind power.
