The document summarizes the state of the Appalachian economy. It finds that while some counties are experiencing population and income growth, many Appalachian counties remain poorer than the national average with lower incomes, higher poverty, and greater unemployment. It also discusses trends showing more males not working and differences between urban, rural, and very rural counties. The document proposes six strategies to improve the Appalachian economy: 1) investing in communities rather than just spending, 2) using economic development tools beyond industrial attraction, 3) improving access to capital for entrepreneurs, 4) making healthcare a priority, 5) adopting regional approaches, and 6) creating a framework for sustainable development focused on civic engagement, innovation, and inclusion
Oregon’s economy is both booming and struggling, and the pressure is on for housing markets across the state. The problem shows up as a lack of housing stock, high rents, unaffordable homeownership, sub-standard housing quality. People with low incomes, people experiencing a disability, and especially people of color experience the greatest barriers to housing opportunity. Hear what the data says about growing wealth disparity and housing opportunity gaps, and add your voice to this discussion about what housing needs are in your community. How does data drive policy change and greater inclusion?

17. Six Strategies to Improve Appalachian
Economy
1. Invest instead of spend
2. There are other effective tools other than
industrial attraction
3. Create access to capital for entrepreneurial and
small business development
4. Health care should be a priority
5. Go Regional!
6. Envision a new long term framework for
sustainable development
18. Investment instead of spending
• The composition of expenditures in rural areas is
significantly different between rural and urban areas
• A much higher proportion of federal funds are
spending (Social security, SSI, disability, welfare)
• Spending does not increase the long term
competiveness or economic capacity of an area in
the same way as do investments in such things as
public infrastructure, healthcare, education and
workforce development
20. Invest in livable communities
• Do not do so to attract firms
• Do so for two very important reasons
▫ Increase the productivity and profitability of
existing businesses and new businesses
▫ Engage in people attraction
The new generation is footloose and fancy
They decide a location first and then employment
21. Industrial Recruitment – There are
other ways…
• Economic gardening
• Targeted attraction models
• New business development
• Business retention and expansion
24. Improve access and demand for capital
• The recent financial crisis and resulting
recession has had a profound impact on both
businesses and households throughout the
country
• The impact of declining credit may be
particularly severe in the Appalachian region
because of the important role small businesses
play in the economic growth of the region
• Even more, small businesses appear to suffer
more from a loss of credit than large businesses
25. More research is needed to better understand the
role of supply and demand in lending.
• Supply side
• Demand side
▫ Microfinance institutions
▫ Entrepreneurial training
▫ Financial management skills ▫ Revolving Loan Funds
▫ Government secure loans
▫ Improve the economy???
▫ Attract venture capitalists
26. Health care should be a priority
• Two-thirds of all Federally designated health care
shortages occur in rural areas
• Inadequate health care is a large problem for
those who live in rural America and it’s a huge
disincentive for businesses
• Workforce development begins at birth
• Critical workforce issues
• Health care is a driver for economic growth
• Health care is an export industry
27. Go Regional!
• Economic transactions, workforce mobility do
not begin, end, or follow city limits or county
boundaries
• Rural counties are not large enough to compete
on their own in today’s global economy.
• Smaller jurisdictions do not have the critical
mass of local leadership and civic infrastructure
needed to play the game.
28. Regional Opportunities
Stronger Economies Together –A USDA Rural
Development/Cooperative Extension
Partnership to work with selected regions to
identify and strengthen their competitive
advantage
Sustainable Communities Program – HUD, EPA,
DOT
Jobs Accelerator/Innovation Program – ETA,
EDA, DOL
29. Of the 22 regions selected in first round 8 are located in Appalachia:
1) Kentucky Highlands
2) Northwest Region Pennsylvania
3) Coal Heritage Region West Virginia
4) Doddridge and Richie Region West Virginia
5) Hardwoods Region West Virginia
6) New River Region West Virginia
7) Panhandle Region West Virginia
8) Buckeye Hills Region Ohio
Phase 2 Includes regions from: Alabama and Mississippi
32. New framework can move Appalachia
forward
• Civic leadership and engagement
• Asset based community development
• A culture of innovation
• Diversity, access, and inclusion
• Youth engagement
• Wealth creation and retention
• Regional initiatives
33. We must invest in the infrastructure, civic engagement,
leadership development, access to quality health care and
education, natural and built amenities before the jobs come!!!
It’s not splashy but its sustainable!
