The NEGRC serves as an Economic Development District (EDD) and Local Development District (LDD) through the Economic Development Administration (EDA) and Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), respectively. We also coordinate with additional federal and state partners to deliver programs at the local level. These programs’ activities are guided by the NEGRC’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), ARC’s statewide Strategy Statement, and the NEGRC’s Regional Plan.
