In March 2021, President Biden issued the American Jobs Plan which aims to overhaul America’s aging infrastructure in order to rebuild our economy and compete with other global leaders. President Biden’s plan includes an immediate up-front investment of $16 billion that will put hundreds of thousands to work in union jobs, plugging oil and gas wells and restoring and reclaiming abandoned coal, hardrock, and uranium mines. This framework builds upon ReImagine Appalachia’s plan to help the Appalachian community maintain jobs and build a better future.

On June 24 at 10am, The Ohio Environmental Council (OEC) and ReImagine Appalachia will host a joint webinar examining the impact of this plan and exploring how this will help Ohio’s economy and environment. The conversation will feature insights about the need to invest in reclaiming oil and gas wells and highlighting opportunities to support communities and workers in the state.

Attendees will hear from Ted Boettner from Ohio River Valley Institute, Marissa Lautzenheiser from Rural Action, Dana Kuhnline from ReImagine Appalachia, and Juliana Discher from The Ohio Environmental Council. Press are encouraged to attend and there will be an opportunity for questions and answers at the end of the prepared remarks.
