3: Infrastructure
Develop and improve Appalachia's infrastructure to make the Region economically competitive. Other Information:
In order to compete in the global economy, Appalachia must have the infrastructure necessary for economic development, including
water and sewer systems, telecommunications systems, and efficient connections to global transportation networks. But barriers
such as rugged terrain and low population density have hindered the Region from developing adequate infrastructure.ARC will
address the lack of adequate water and sewer systems and telecommunications systems and services in the Region, and will build
partnerships to address the critical issue of intermodal connections to improve access to the global market.
