The Center for Rural Development now accepting grant applications Adair County local government units eligible for funding for community strategic planning By Sharon Dodson The Center for Rural Development in Somerset announced today it is accepting grant applications from local government units in cities and counties across Southern and Eastern Kentucky, including Adair County, for funding support from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) for community strategic planning. Through its Developing and Implementing Community Strategies Program, The Center will award $145,000 in ARC mini-grant funding to communities to encourage and support improved community strategic planning throughout the region. The Center will be awarding two cycles of mini-grants in 2010 for either the successful creation of a strategic plan or the implementation of priority community development projects identified in existing strategic plans. The Center also is encouraging the use of technology solutions in the implementation and execution of these plans and projects. The application period for the first cycle of funding will be open through Jan. 4, and grants are expected to be awarded in February. Individual project awards will range from $5,000 up to a maximum of $10,000. All projects must be completed within a six-month period. The application period for the second cycle of funding will be announced at a later date. In 2008, The Center awarded a total of $170,000 in federally funded ARC mini-grants to 13 counties and cities in Southern and Eastern Kentucky to help advance local economic and community development plans. "Stimulating innovative and sustainable economic development solutions in the region we serve is at the core of The Center's mission, and these grants target communities that have the ideas--but lack the resources--to move them forward," Lonnie Lawson, CEO and President of The Center, said. "The grants awarded during the last funding cycle in 2008 made a significant impact on each of the counties and cities that received them, and served to underscore the critical importance of strategic thinking and planning regardless of the size of the community," Lawson continued. "We fully expect this new funding will build on that beginning and impact our region to a much greater extent." Recipients in 2008 included the cities of Inez, Corbin, Beattyville, Liberty, Mt. Vernon, and Paintsville; and McCreary, Bell, Morgan, Lee, and Letcher counties. Bell County and the city of Corbin received funding support in both funding cycles. For more information about the program or to seek grant applications, contact Patti Simpson at The Center at 606-677-6000 or email her at psimpson@centertech.com. Counties eligible to apply for ARC funding support through The Center include: Adair, Bath, Bell, Breathitt, Casey, Clay, Clinton, Cumberland, Estill, Floyd, Harlan, Jackson, Johnson, Knott, Knox, Lawrence, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Lincoln, Magoffin, Metcalfe, Martin, McCreary, Menifee, Monroe, Morgan, Owsley, Perry, Rockcastle, Russell, Wayne, Whitley, and Wolfe. Cities within those counties may also apply. he Center for Rural Development--the Center of Excellence for rural Kentucky and the nation--provides economic and community development programs to residents in a 42-county primary service area of Southern and Eastern Kentucky, and is home to several statewide and national technology-based programs.
