Community Development Data Needs in Morehead-Rowan County, Kentucky
As a continuation of work done by ATP students over the past four years, students
in this years ATP class will work closely with officials and other community leaders
in Morehead-Rowan County to identify, collect, and analyze key data from local, regional,
state and/or federal sources that they need to help them understand and improve the
economic conditions and quality of life in the county. An answer to the question
Why is this area so persistently distressed? is the long-term objective. Students
will work with community leaders to identify the causal factors at work that account
for the persistent distress of this community and region and to facilitate sound and
sustainable policy development.
