ABOUT THE MEETING

Oak Ridge, Tennessee; Los Alamos, New Mexico; and the Tri-Cities, Washington each played an essential role in the top-secret Manhattan Project that defined the end of World War II. The Energy Communities Alliance (ECA) is pleased to convene the next meeting of these three communities to provide updates on the status of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park, discuss planned projects, share information, and more.

In addition to the meeting, a tour of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park at the Los Alamos National Laboratory will be offered. 

The agenda for the meeting will be made available soon. When planning travel, please be prepared to attend the tour on the morning of August 16, with meeting sessions running through the late afternoon of August 17.
