various public economic and community development activities that help to diversify the District
economy. Preference will be given to activities that are linked to the Cumberland Plateau
Planning District Commission’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (latest update)
and to other regional, state and federal economic development plans, initiatives and programs.
