Abstract | Established by the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965, the Appalachian Regional Commission has as its overall goal the economic and social development of all of West Virginia and parts of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The program is an experiment in which the people and local state, and Federal governments have launched a cooperative effort to build a better way of life for the more than 18 million Appalachian citizens. Innovations and the current status of finances, employment, population and income, transportation, education, environment, health, child development, and housing are specific areas of concern. A supplemental grants program includes investments in vocational education, higher education, libraries, educational television, sewage treatment facilities, and airports. Research and planning projects are involved in coal research, communication, evaluation, and arts and crafts. Local project expenditures in the 13 states, addresses of the local development districts in these states, and publications relative to Appalachia are reported in appendices. (HBC) |
