ARC’s current Strategic Plan is a blueprint for investments at the Regional level. Each of Appalachia’s 13 states develops a companion four-year plan and annual strategy statement outlining its funding priorities for ARC projects.

The first step in applying for any ARC support is to review both the ARC Strategic Plan and corresponding plans and strategies for the state(s) served by the proposed project. State program managers can also offer insightful guidance in determining a project’s eligibility for funding and assistance at the county level.
