In hopes of assisting Appalachian community growth, the Appalachian Solar Finance Fund will be providing nonprofit organizations, public entities, and local businesses a chance at solar powered assistance with panel installation. Amid the funds webinar on Thursday, we spoke with project manager Autumn Long about the fund and how your business may be able to get involved. We're really hoping to catalyze solar projects in coal impacted communities throughout central Appalachia, projects that are otherwise viable, but that might need a little help getting off the ground or have a gap in financing or funding that would be filled by the Solar Finance Fund support and that would help move those projects forward and deploy more solar energy in our communities throughout the region. With funds from the Appalachian Regional Commission and others, the program hopes to enable local anchors expand their reach with renewable energy. Long says having solar is a great way to cut electricity costs. In addition to those direct cost benefits through savings, solar is a great local job creator. It's a very fast growing industry. There are more and more people employed in the solar sector every day. And it's a great way to create new good long term jobs in our local communities to promote economic development, business growth, and growth and tax revenue in our local communities as well. So solar is increasingly becoming central to the way electricity is produced and consumed in the United States today. And we want to make sure that Appalachia doesn't get left behind.
