New Website Offers Resources for Diversifying, Strengthening Transitioning Economies
A new website, Resources for Transitioning Economies, has been created to assist those interested in diversifying and strengthening their local economies, with an emphasis on county and regional leaders in coal-reliant communities. As part of a cooperative agreement between the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA), with support from the National Association of Development Organizations (NADO) Research Foundation, the website features resources produced by public, private, and nonprofit organizations across three different categories: publications, tools and training, and funding and organizations.
The resource portal serves as a companion to a series of intensive, hands-on workshops to be held throughout 2015. Teams will participate in a competitive process to earn spots at the training workshops.
