This virtual event will bring Matewan, West Virginia – a community in the heart of coal-impacted Appalachia – to attendees through videos and ideas shared by community members themselves.

Following this virtual tour, 10 ARC POWER partners from West Virginia and Kentucky will share best practices and exchange ideas to help local leaders, nonprofits, and community members across the entire Region continue **strengthening and diversifying coal-impacted economies**.

Finally, we’ll be announcing **ARC’s 2021 POWER Initiative award recipients.** Appalachian Regional Commission
