Local First has partnered with the Peak Health Alliance, a healthcare purchasing cooperative with the goal of reducing health care premiums, while maintaining local and high quality care, through the power of community collaboration. You now shop local for healthcare saving approximately 35% on health insurance in La Plata, San Juan, Dolores, and Montezuma Counties. 27382 Local First advocates for keeping energy dollars re-circulating locally to create jobs, support the local energy industry, and maintain our quality of life. A prime example of economic prosperity that is leaving our community is found in our local not-for-profit electrical distribution and public power cooperative, the La Plata Electric Association (LPEA). LPEA relies on Tri-State Generation & Transmission Association for power along with 43 other members across Colorado, New Mexico, Nebraska and Wyoming. Currently, our energy comes from LPEA, which is part of a larger energy co-op called Tri-State. LPEA is required to purchase 95% of our electricity from Tri-State until 2050 because of a long-term contract that was renewed with Tri-State. Tri-States energy is over 60% coal produced, making them the 2nd worst climate emitting electricity producer in the country. 5602 In order to inspire meaningful contributions to the community, local area businesses are committing to giving back 1% of their gross revenues to make a significant impact to the health and well being of the place we call home. In the first year of the Funds existence, a minimum of 25% of the 1% pledge will be pooled and leveraged in order to make movement-building and long-term investments to help alleviate our communitys most pressing concerns. The La Plata Impact Fund seeks to be a change agent, driving funds to where they can make the biggest difference. 140000 153881 hrive! is a coalition of local workers, employers, elected officials, and public partners who care about the long-term economic health and social well-being of La Plata County.
