Coles Together is a non-profit economic development organization for Coles County, Illinois. It was founded in 1988 by a partnership between the public and private sectors to provide full-time economic development support for new and existing industry in Coles County. [1]
Coles Together provides the industrial sector with resources and services needed to locate or expand a development within the community. This includes marketing, finance, and project packaging. [1]
The organization actively pursued and was selected as the host site for FutureGen, a public-private partnership to build the world's first near-zero-emissions coal-based power plant in Mattoon, Illinois. The plant would have been the first near-zero-emissions coal-fired power plant built in the United States. [2]
The president of Coles Together is Angela Griffin. [1]
In 2009, the America's Power Factuality Tour interviewed Angela Griffin to report on FutureGen's potential impact on the local economy and its role in generating electricity in the United States. [3]
