To include Nelson County, Virginia, in the Appalachian region for purposes of the programs of the Appalachian Regional Commission.

H.R. 1385 is a legislative proposal that would officially designate Nelson County, Virginia, as part of the Appalachian region under the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). This designation would make the county eligible for federal grants and economic development programs aimed at improving infrastructure, job training, and community health. If enacted, the bill would allow local leaders to apply for federal funding specifically reserved for the economic revitalization of Appalachian communities.
