The U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) has awarded Giles County a $200,000 grant. These funds are directed to support a reuse study for the decommissioned Appalachian Power (ApCo) coal-fired Glen Lyn Plant in Pearisburg, Virginia. U.S. Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement:

“I strongly support projects that reinvigorate and breathe life into our communities.

“This $200,000 grant helps Giles County develop a strategy to repurpose the ApCo plant site and assess potential pathways to strengthen the local economy.”

Congressman Griffith wrote a letter of support on behalf of the grant application.
