 Project Purpose and Objective

With the Clarkdale Sustainability Park (CSP or Park), the Town of Clarkdale is taking creative, united and transformative action as it faces many economic challenges which cannot be solved without significant measures. The cost of doing nothing in response to these challenges would be unforgivable and detrimental to the health of the community, its future and its future residents. In short, the cost of doing nothing is not an option. Clarkdale is choosing to take transformative action in these toughest of times by seeking effective solutions.
 
These challenges are not unique to Clarkdale.  Our Nation is being called upon to adopt and adapt to fundamental changes for the future. The CSP concept is a serious effort which will not only solve many current problems, but create a new and sustainable future. The severity of the current challenges requires creative solutions which can only be implemented by a united effort. 

Clarkdale realizes the CSP concept will require the resolve to make tough decisions and overcome unknown adversities. Given the vision of Clarkdale’s leadership, its community support and creative will, combined with the technological advancements and funding opportunities available, the time to act is clear, and time is of the essence.

The CSP presents a focused economic development strategy that creates employment and attracts investors and partners.  The energy-producing tenants will generate revenues while fostering the Park’s concept by supporting each other’s role and contributing to its organic charter. Through the CSP, Clarkdale will tackle energy sustainability, reduction of foreign oil needs and reduction of greenhouse gasses on a community level while at the same time 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. The Park will provide a supportive setting for the deployment of reliable, innovative energy production.
