St. Johns, AZ: A Town’s Journey Through Change | GAIN Community Support

What does a town do when faced with the proposed closure of its main employer? This was the dilemma facing St. Johns, Arizona, when Salt River Project announced plans to cease operations at the coal-fired Coronado Generating Station by 2032. In response, the town came together to build a stronger future. Efforts included extending the region’s broadband internet and collaborating with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) to assess the feasibility of nuclear power for the plant and the community. The DOE-funded study concluded that nuclear power could be a viable option for the Coronado Generating Station, providing job retention and economic growth for the local area.
