Since the ARC was established in 1965, it has invested over $6 BILLION into the region and the poverty rate was cut in half.

The results, while not enough, have shown drastic improvement in infrastructure, economic opportunity, and social mobility.

Before the ARC, in Appalachia:
-1/3 of the population lived in poverty
- Infant mortality rate was 50% higher than the national average
-50% of homes lacked indoor plumbing
-Only 43% of homes in central Appalachia had a telephone
