3.2: Infrastructure
Build and Enhance Basic Infrastructure Other Information:
Communities must have adequate water and wastewater treatment systems and decent, affordable housing to sustain businesses,
generate jobs, protect public health, and ensure a basic standard of living for residents. Many Appalachian communities continue
to lack this basic infrastructure, compromising the Region's ability to pursue basic development activities. Investing in
basic infrastructure is an investment in the wellness, as well as the economic potential, of Appalachia. Selected Strategies:
Make strategic investments that leverage federal, state, private, and local capital for the development and improvement of
water and wastewater systems. Support continued efforts to expand the Region's stock of safe, affordable housing.
