Four of OARC's member agencies serve as Local Development Districts (LDD) for 32 of Ohio's Applachian counties. The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) is a federal-state partnership that works with the people of Appalachia to create opportunities for self-sustaining economic development and improved quality of life.

By creating or retaining jobs, providing access to education or training, increasing availability to water and  sanitary sewer services as well as maintaining and upgrading bridges and roads, the projects administered by  LDDs build the regions' infrastructure for future growth.

• The 2011 Impact Report is now available.
• In 2011, Ohio’s LDDs administered 51 ARC projects with $47,935,963 in total project costs which resulted in 1,052 new jobs and another 2,295 jobs retained in the region. Funding was provided by Federal ARC and the Governors Office of Appalachia.
