ReImagine Appalachia supported the launch of a new hub to provide resources and connections for local government officials, economic development agencies, technical assistance providers, project developers, investors, and labor organizations interested in new sustainable development in the region.
The event laid the groundwork for a year of strategic planning aimed at nurturing sustainable economic development across Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. We heard from Hub staff and partners about the work that’s underway, and how you can participate.
