Projects
These activities focus on supporting the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management cleanup and property transfer missions and the Southern Ohio Diversification Initiative site redevelopment mission. Site redevelopment will result in industry attraction, job creation, and advancing regional prosperity. General focus areas include site readiness, attracting and supporting industries including energy producers and high-volume energy users, workforce readiness aligned with redevelopment, and stakeholder engagement at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as with regional organizations, partners, and the general community.
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) engagement activities are designed to encourage regional students to learn about and engage in activities in STEM disciplines to spark their imaginations and interests in these fields. The goal is to encourage students to pursue careers in these in-demand STEM fields that provide well-paying employment opportunities and especially to encourage students to pursue jobs being created as part of the PORTS site redevelopment.
