A press conference was held at the Clinton Clean Energy Center to celebrate the deal with Meta, which will keep the plant open for another 20 years. 

Constellation reaffirmed its pledge of $1 million over the next five years to support workforce development, social services, education, and local non-profits in Clinton and the surrounding area. At the event, it was announced that those efforts will begin with $100,000 over the next five years for the Clinton YMCA. 

Clinton Y, Executive Director, Rennie Cluver, expressed gratitude to Constellation. He says it's partnerships and donations that make the Y great, because they allow people to utilize their facilities and programming on scholarships. 

Cluver appreciates the focus on local impact that Constellation has committed to.  He is excited for the future of the YMCA and the opportunities that will come because of this donation. 

Constellation officials shared that they look forward to becoming a pillar of the community and having longevity in their operations and their support of Clinton and DeWitt County.
