Landis Announces Applications for POWER Initiative

COLUMBUS— State Senator Al Landis (R-Dover) today announced the opening of applications to help those who have been impacted by job losses in the coal industry. 

The Appalachian Regional Commission's Partnerships for Opportunity and Workforce and Economic Revitalization (POWER) Initiative focuses on communities throughout the Appalachian region. These funds will be used to leverage workforce development, infrastructure, and entrepreneurship.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for eligible communities and entities to apply to," said Landis. "These kinds of investments strengthen the Appalachian region, its economy, and its heritage." 

The Appalachian Regional Commission is working in partnership with the Governor's Office of Appalachia. Since 2015, the Appalachian Regional Commission has invested more than $62 million in 72 projects in Ohio. 

The POWER Initiative application deadline is April 17, 2024.
