ReImagine Appalachia’s Blueprint and related initiatives lay out a vision for creating over half a million good jobs while transitioning the region toward a sustainable, inclusive economy rooted in its people, land, and industries. By turning challenges like shuttered coal plants into opportunities for eco-industrial redevelopment, investing in clean energy, and strengthening local ownership, the initiative demonstrates how asset-based strategies can both repair past harm and build future prosperity. This aligns directly with Aspen CSG’s mission: leveraging community assets, equity, and collaboration to ensure that Appalachia’s economic transition creates lasting wealth and well-being for all residents.
