Partnerships & Online Resources
The Jackson County Green Energy Park has collaborated with many state and federal agencies, local education institutions, and non-profit agencies to gather funding and technical support, and to initiate educational opportunities. We have utilized local businesses whenever possible – in everything from sign creation, to gas monitoring, to hauling gravel – in an effort to return some of the local tax dollars spent on the project back into the community. Collaboration efforts to date have been extremely positive and effective, and will continue throughout the life of the project.
