Rural communities in northern and central Illinois face many challenges—out-migration, an aging population, over-reliance on large employers—but just because these rural communities are changing, does not mean that they are withering. While the pandemic created hardships, it also created opportunities for rural communities. For instance, a surge in new business applications indicates a growing interest in entrepreneurship, and the ongoing expansion of the nation’s broadband infrastructure has created remote work opportunities and made rural living a more realistic option for many people.

In the clean energy future, every community is a host community for energy generation. Former mine lands and brownfields in our communities present an opportunity to host low-impact renewable energy development and to create value on lands that are frequently difficult to develop, as described in our first workshop.  But how does a community discern whether these marginal lands are able to be developed?  Who can communities turn to for assistance?  What financial resources can a community tap to enable desired renewable energy development?
