About this event

Keeping the doors open in persistently poor counties is a complex challenge, but there are several strategies that can help create economic stability and foster growth. Here are some key approaches to consider:


Sustaining economic stability and growth in persistently impoverished counties requires a multifaceted approach. Key strategies encompass investing in education and workforce development to enhance employability, prioritizing infrastructure development to attract businesses and generate jobs, and nurturing small businesses through access to resources and mentorship. Diversifying industries, granting access to healthcare, and establishing social safety nets are essential for residents' economic well-being. Involving the local community in decision-making, fostering regional partnerships, and seeking grants and funding sources are vital components of this journey. Long-term planning and tourism promotion offer sustained growth potential, while sustainable practices and high-speed internet access contribute to the region's economic viability. Quality housing, public-private partnerships, and thorough monitoring and evaluation complete this comprehensive approach to overcoming persistent poverty.
