Overview PageBuilder Automated Sections FAQs

The PageBuilder Tool

The PageBuilder blocks provide you with the flexibility to make each page unique while staying consistent with the design of the rest of your site. You have several options for your PageBuilder blocks. You’ll click on the “Add Section” button or the + sign in the right upper corner of each section to add a layout.

Half & Half

This is the half and half section where you can add content and an image. There will be a light grey background for your content side. Images need to have the subject centered and be sized at a 16:9 ratio.

Image Overlay

You can add content with an image in the background. This works best with landscape photography at a 16:9 ratio. You can select where you would like the copy to appear (left, right, or center).

One Column

This is your One Column section. You can choose the Content Width and Background Color. You can also set it to appear as the header for the next section by switching the Intro toggle to yes. Widths of 10/12 are great if you want the content centered in our grid system. If you want the content lined up with the next section, I would recommend making it 12/12.

Two Column (H2)

For the Two Column section you have all your formatting options and can choose any widths for the columns. You can have two columns of content or a picture and content. The pictures used in this section are 1280 x 720 or 1500 x 1000 px. You want the image to compliment the content, but those are good starting points.

You can use the Vertical Alignment tool to center the columns vertically. Reverse mobile order if the image appears in the second column.

Content Blocks

For the content blocks section you have various layout options you can select.

Content Block (h3)

You can add information in content blocks. Choose your Layout option (Icon, Copy, Images.

Getting Started with Federal Grants

With historic levels of funding now available through a range of federal agencies, we want to help ensure that coal communities can apply for these funds and advance economic transition efforts on the ground. Start with these resources to learn more about the opportunity, and visit our Federal Access Center for additional support.

Intro to Federal Policies & Programs Impacting Economic Transition

A variety of policies are designed to help states and communities address the impacts of coal plant and mine closures while maintaining a just and strong economy. Get an overview of these policies.

Where We Work

We focus on mining and power plant communities in major coal-affected areas of the United States. Within these regions, we prioritize support for communities experiencing the most distress, taking into account socioeconomic factors that make economic transition even more challenging.

The Midwest
Appalachia
The South

The West

Areas of the western and southwestern United States are well known for their prolific energy production, with 40 percent of the nation’s coal being mined in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana. But the region, including many Indigenous communities that have inhabited it for hundreds of years, is beginning to reel as coal plants and mines close.

The Midwest

The Midwest has a long and deep relationship with coal, experiencing booms and busts throughout the 20th century and into recent decades with the expansion of mines in the Illinois Basin. But as demand for the region’s coal declines and cleaner energy outcompetes coal power, more midwestern states and communities are embracing the need for long-term planning, community investment, and policy change.

Appalachia

The rugged landscape of Appalachia’s coal-bearing region is famous for its ecological abundance, narrow ridgelines, and steep valleys. But centuries of industrial-scale and increasingly mechanized coal mining operations have reduced hundreds of mountains to rubble through the use of mountaintop removal mining while producing a legacy of persistent poverty and pollution.

The South

In the heart of the American South, the legacy of coal mining is etched into the landscape, with the mining of lignite as the backbone of the region. The transition away from coal in Texas, once a top producer of lignite in the country, is reshaping the state’s energy landscape, and causing devastation for workers, families, and communities as coal plants close without enough planning, policy, or preparation.
