The Consortium of Appalachian Centers and Institutes has received funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission to fund a region-wide teaching and research effort during fall 2001. Each of the 13 participating institutions, including Ohio University, will offer an Appalachian Studies course in which students will study and conduct research to answer the question: "How do we build a sustainable future for Appalachian communities?" Students across the 13 institutions will meet each other at an orientation meeting in the fall at East Tennessee State University to share research agendas, learn about the work of the Appalachian Regional Commission and participate in discussions about sustainable development in Appalachia. They will present the results of their research in Washington, D.C., at the Appalachian Regional Commission in November. Ohio University's course will focus on sustainable development in the Raccoon Creek watershed. Students will help design and conduct a pre-feasibility study for a proposed greenway from Zaleski to Mineral, including a bike path, using other greenway feasibility studies as models. Key issues that will be addressed in the research are defined in "Research Topics for Pre-feasibility Study".

Kellogg Foundation Managing Information with Rural America Program December 31, 1998 PROJECT NARRATIVE I. Why Are We Interested in MIRA? Our citizens are often handicapped by their lack of knowledge in technical areas, their lack of experience, and even by their Appalachian culture. Some of the people are not only ignorant of the technology, they have a fear of it. For example, some families would not allow the Internet into their home even if they could afford the equipment. The Managing Information with Rural American program (MIRA) offers the opportunity for cluster of communities in Appalachian Ohio to overcome such barriers by joining with our neighbors and accessing each others' strengths to solve the problem of unequal access, and create new opportunities in community development, heritage, and pride.

Northeast Ohio Regional Retail Analysis Session: Commercial Revitalization and Regional Retail Patterns April 14, 10:15 AM James M. Kastelic Cuyahoga County Planning Commission Cleveland, Ohio ABSTRACT: This study analyzes retail development patterns in the Cleveland metropolitan area. The explosive growth of the retail industry in this seven-county region throughout the 1990's has had profound implications on consumer shopping patterns, traffic generation and land use. The study documents these patterns, assesses the impact of new retail development on older shopping districts, examines the impacts of commercial development on tax generation and the environment, and recommends strategies to manage retail growth more effectively. The project involved the participation of six county planing commissions, the City of Cleveland Planning Commission, the regional transportation planning agency, and two private retail consulting firms. OVERVIEW The retail sector is a major focal point of any community. First, it is the most visible land use; its physical configuration and condition are critical in projecting a city’s image. Second, the economic health of a city is often associated with the ability of its business districts to thrive and remain prosperous. Finally, retail stores provide an important part of maintaining the social character of a community by creating a sense of place where residents can satisfy their consumer needs and encounter other neighborhood residents. This so called "marketplace" function is critically important to community vitality.

Tell some friends about this page! Livable Communities People need livable communities and a high quality of life. The attractiveness of older small towns and a scattering of newer developments demonstrate the appeal of certain characteristics. Lively downtown areas, streets designed for pedestrians as much as autos, a scale and pattern of development that allows us meet everyday needs by walking, are all key factors in ensuring cities provide a high quality of life. The Problem The standard style of suburban development since the 1950s produces less livable communities. Uses are rigorously separated into housing subdivisions, shopping malls, and business parks, which are then segregated by walls and wide collector streets. Residents must depend on cars for all their shopping, family and recreational trips. Traffic congestion is the norm. A sense of community is often lacking.
