We strive to use sound judgement and best practices to assure that the business, services, and functions of the county proceed with efficiency and integrity. We are committed to supporting the growth of businesses and services that will provide county residents with the standard of living and quality of life they seek. Part of that work includes attracting and retaining strong companies that will benefit all residents of Grant County. In that vein, the Grant County Commissioners wish to express their strong support of the BATT (Battery and Allied Technology Transformation) Tech Hub project proposal in the area of "[a]dvanced energy and industrial efficiency technologies, such as batteries and advanced nuclear technologies, including, but on limited to, for the purpose of electric generation." It is crucial that our citizens have opportunities to gain skills in all areas of clean energy technology such as electrical storage, hydropower, hydrogen, advanced nuclear, etc. and it is our hope and desire that BATT will successfully address these needs. The Commissioners have read the BATT Tech Hub proposal and are committed to executing the BATT Tech Hub mission as well as fulfilling the roles, responsibilities, and commitments as described in the application. For the Commissioners, this means staying informed about the work of the BATT Tech Hub, participating in meetings related to the work of the BATT Tech Hub as invited, and supporting and adopting policies and procedures that will support the growth and sustainability of an economic environment in Grant County where businesses involved in technologies such as those mentioned above can thrive.
