• Abstract:
  In 1996, The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) reinvented itself. It adopted a strategic plan that re-affirmed its two historic priorities: a developmental highway program and an economic and human development program, and rethought how to achieve them. The plan establishes goals under the headings: 1) education and workforce training, 2) physical infrastructure, 3) civic capacity and leadership, 4) dynamic local economics, and 5) health care. Two years later, Congress and the president provided a steady and predictable source of funding for completing ADHS by shifting its support to the federal Highway Trust Fund. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century authorizes $450 million per year for the ADHS over five years. This report shows some of the ways states and local communities are fleshing out the states' strategies for reaching the Region's goals in economic and human development.
