 "Clarkdale’s Sustainability Park concept is as revolutionary as it is transformative. It will forever change the way Arizona’s and America’s communities are powered, funded and sustained. It will make sustainable energy and environmental stewardship a community function, instead of an individual responsibility." Clarkdale Mayor Doug Von Gausig Vision - An Evolutionary Solution for a Sustainable Community Mission - To provide an entrepreneurial environment rich in innovative, multi-disciplinary solutions, and educational and economic opportunities resulting in a vibrant and viable future Project Purpose and Objective With the Clarkdale Sustainability Park (CSP), the Town of Clarkdale is taking creative, united and trans formative action as it faces many economic challenges which cannot be solved without significant measures. The cost of doing nothing in response to these challenges is high and would be detrimental to the health of the community, its future and its future residents. In short, the cost of doing nothing is not an option. Given the vision of Clarkdale’s leadership, its community support and creative will, combined with the technological advancements and funding opportunities available, the need to act is clear, and time is of the essence. The CSP presents a focused economic development strategy creating employment and attracting investors and partners. The energy-producing tenants will generate revenues while fostering the Park’s concept by supporting each other’s roles and contributing to its organic charter. Through the CSP, Clarkdale will tackle energy sustainability, reduction of reliance on foreign oil and reduction of greenhouse gasses at a community level while providing stable and growing revenues for the Town. The development, production and efficiencies generated by the Park will advance the security, economic well-being, and public and environmental health of Clarkdale. The conservation of water and generation of new water resources will likewise play a central and critical role in the future of our Town. All these benefits will also accrue to the State of Arizona, the Verde Valley and other communities that choose to follow similar paths. Top |
