Area Development Program - Appalachian Regional Commission ARC’s Area Development program relies on a flexible “bottom up” approach to economic development, empowering Appalachian communities to work with their state governments to design impactful investment opportunities supporting our mission and investment priorities .
All ARC Area Development grant proposals originate at the state level in consultation with the ARC state program manager . Managing Construction Projects ARC’s investments in roads, buildings, water systems, broadband networks and other brick-and-mortar projects are administered by a designated Basic Agency, a federal or state public agency experienced at managing federal construction grants.
