State Plans and Strategies
  

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.
