Waverly, Ohio – The Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission (OVRDC) will hold Second Round Caucus Meetings in 3 of the 12 counties of the southern Ohio service area.

Caucus members will discuss and rank projects submitted to OVRDC for possible funding consideration through the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). Updated information will be presented on the status of the ARC and EDA programs, as well as information on programmatic activities and projects.

The meeting is open to the general public, local government officials and non-profit organizations. We encourage those organizations with projects submitted for funding to send a representative. Comments by attendees on regional or county projects and priorities are encouraged.
