Prosperity Planning Update: Please take note of new dates, times and locations in red below. There is still time to register for all sessions.

Please join us, the Appalachian Partnership Inc. (API) and Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth (APEG), for the next phase of Economic Prosperity Planning for the APEG region of eastern and southern Ohio. Phase III begins with work sessions, one for each strategic initiative listed below, that frame up specific action plans. 

During these work sessions, specifics will be defined for: tactics/implementation steps, implementation timeline, resources, metrics, and, of course, where you would like to be involved in implementation. 

This is a regional plan, not an API/APEG organizational plan alone; your participation and leadership are encouraged for shaping and implementing this important work for our region. You are welcome to participate in one or more; pick the initiatives you want to work on. 

We will begin and end on time for each work session. Please arrive early for prompt meeting start.

 WHY IT MATTERS
Hospitals. Fire departments. Schools. Even roads and highways. The census can shape many different aspects of your community. Each year, the results help determine how more than $675 billion in federal funding is distributed to states and communities. It's also mandated by the Constitution: The U.S. has counted its population every 10 years since 1790.
