nalo those Pennsylvania counties

started without the Appalachian
Regional Development Act of
1965.
Constiuction of new vocation
al technical high schools had
been given “top priority” in the
Appalachian program in Pennsyl
vania.
Twenty-eight such schools al
ready have been completed or
are under construction with Ap
ualachian aid, at a total cost of
$105.7 million, and we fully ex
pect that 12 more will have been
built by June of 1971.
Of the total cost of the 28 vo
tech schools already built or now
under construction, Appalachia
contributed $10.3 million, the
State $52.4 million, local sources
$26J7 million with the balance of
$16.1 million coming from other
Federal funds.
Particularly important in those
figures is the fact that approxi
mately half of the total cost came
fiom State government itself.
In addition. Appalachia has
provided $392,909 in seed money
loans for planmng and pre con
struction financing to make pos
sible $2O million worth of low
and moderate income housing in
the Commonwealth.
Eleven Pennsylvania piojects,
which togethei will provide 966
housing units for State residents
have already been appioved by
the Appalachian Regional Com
mission, and that is one thud of
all such piojects initiated to date
in all 13 Appalachian states
Appalachian funds in the
amount of $6 9 million also has
resulted in $6O 6 million in new
hospital facilities while another
$5.2 million has generated con
struction of $42 1 million in class
room facilities at both public
and private colleges and univer
sities.
In other areas, $19.7 million
from Appalachia has resulted in
$26 2 million in mine area res
toration projects and $5 6 million
in 36 access roads to industrial
parks at a total cost of $12.6 mil
lion.
With a record like that, Ap
palachia cannot help but be the
most successful exercise in Fed
eral, State and local relations
ever conceived.
