Lancaster Energy Partners / Thomaston, Georgia$9,000,000
Project Description
Located in the State of Georgia, historically underserved in the NMTC Program, the Lancaster Energy Partners Project consists of the acquisition and retrofitting of a former coal fired power plant which had closed 10 years ago. The power plant served an adjacent textile mill which had closed due to foreign competition. DVCI’s NMTC investment contributed to bringing the plant, located in severely distressed, low-income community suffering from 21.3% unemployment on a site which was environmentally contaminated, back to life. When operational, utilizing wood waste as the fuel source, this clean energy plant will produce 18 megawatts of electric power. The power will serve the surrounding low-income community and is being purchased by local electrical cooperatives, powering 16,000 homes. The wood waste harvested and transported by local companies will create $30 million of economic activity and 60 indirect full-time jobs.
The Project will create 25 direct, permanent full-time jobs with 72% of these positions being filled by low-income persons or residents of the low-income community. Jobs at the plant offer above average wages with opportunities for career advancement based on performance and merit. The operators of the plant will work to recruit and train workers utilizing the State’s QuickStart training program, as well as programs offered through the Southern Crescent Technical College in Thomaston. Valley National Bank acquired the New Markets Tax Credits.
