Creative Reuse
Seeing the end to its “useful lifespan” two, North Carolina counties embarked on a reuse plan for their soon-to-be closed landfill. After much brainstorming, the concept of a business incubator withstood all the thunder, lightning, and wind. This project wouldn’t be just any incubator though. It would focus on local heritage: art, energy, and plants. The concept formed was EnergyXchange, and it it thriving. Such a model draws close parallels for Pennsylvania as we embark on finding ways to make Brownfields and Abandoned Mine Lands assets instead of liabilities.
