NS Selected to Lead Belmont County ACG Program

Neighborhood Strategies has been selected as the project manager for the Appalachian Community Grant (ACG) program in Belmont County. In this role, our firm will coordinate activities that will lead to the development of a grant application this fall.  

The ACG is a $500 million program that provides planning and development grants for communities in Ohio’s 32-county Appalachian region. Program funds are provided by Ohio’s designation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars and are administered by the Governor’s Office of Appalachia within the Ohio Department of Development.  

“We are excited to partner with Neighborhood Strategies on this important project. They bring a wealth of experience and expertise to this role, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact this initiative will have on our local communities,” said Larry Merry, Executive Director of the Belmont County Port Authority.
