ARC ARISE (Appalachian Regional Initiative for Stronger Economies)
Program Summary
A $73.5 million ARC initiative funding multi-state collaborative projects that drive large-scale regional economic transformation across Appalachia.
Full Description
ARC describes ARISE as an initiative aimed at driving large-scale regional economic transformation through multi-state collaborative projects across Appalachia. Because it requires multi-state collaboration, it is a distinct track from ARC's standard state-routed grant process and from ARC's water and wastewater infrastructure funding. This is directly relevant to any PA-OH-WV cross-border watershed or water infrastructure collaborative that can frame its work as regional economic development, which is exactly the shape of the H2O Water Network's tri-state footprint.
