H-Biz – The Huntington Business Innovation Zone (H-BIZ) Manufacturing HUB project will repurpose a brownfield factory site and an existing Machine Shop building to become a welding and robotic training center as part of Marshall University’s Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Center. Rejuvenating the former brownfield manufacturing facility into new green space will create economic opportunity for the region. The project consists of the rehabilitation of the former 10,800 SF machine shop and construction of a new 2,000 SF addition. Project elements include the rehabilitation of the building systems, parking, stormwater infrastructure and roadways.

Just Transition Center – Due to its location at the center of all ACT Now Coalition activities, it is perfectly situated to provide a home to several climate and economic-based ACT Now project components and host several Coalition partners. Ultimately, this project will create more than 400 new jobs and will allow a smooth transition from a coal-centered economy to an economically and environmentally sustainable one, while addressing inequities that exist in the region.

Sustainable Land Mines – Currently, WV has the highest number of mines throughout the Central Appalachian region and this project will create the conditions for WV to become a national leader in mine land reclamation by developing a comprehensive system for the conversion of FML to their highest and best uses. Advancing sustainable reuses for FML that create economic opportunities is essential because they are often in, or adjacent to, persistent poverty communities.
