Appalachian communities are working to invest their resources strategically to help build a stronger economic future. An important part of this process is applying lessons learned from successful programs throughout the Region. These strategic applications - “apps” - can help communities shape their development efforts for more impactful and sustainable results that will transform Appalachia’s economy.
The Appalachian Regional Commission’s October 2015 Appalachian Apps conference will showcase effective approaches to addressing key development issues facing the Region’s communities today. Concurrent sessions will focus on local models for increasing access to broadband; supporting employer-driven workforce development; and engaging the Region’s next generation of leaders. Conference plenary sessions will bring together government and industry leaders to explore how current initiatives and emerging opportunities can also play an important role in shaping local economic development programs.
Join your colleagues in Somerset, Kentucky, October 14-15 to learn strategies your community can use to build a stronger future. Registration will be available soon! Watch your email for more information or visit
