  • Coos County Economic Action Plan - Energy Technical Review Committee

    North Country RC&D facilitated the development of an Energy Action Plan as part of the Coos County Economic Action Plan.  Energy, along with timber, the creative economy, and tourism are the components of the Coos County Economic Action Plan. 

    The Energy Technical Review Committee met four (4) times in January and February, 2008 to develop a set of action strategies that were adopted by the Coos County EAP Steering Committee on April 30th, 2008. 

    The links below summarize the work of the Energy TRC and the information presented to the Coos County Economic Action Plan Steering Committee.  For more detailed information on the Energy TRC as well as other components of the Coos County EAP visit the website of the North Country Council at www.nccouncil.org
