To amend title 40, United States Code, to add Ashtabula, Mahoning, and Trumbull Counties, Ohio, to the Appalachian region.

H.R. 587 proposes to expand the official definition of the "Appalachian region" to include several additional counties across Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia. By adding these specific areas to the jurisdiction of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), the bill would make these communities eligible for federal grants and economic development programs aimed at improving infrastructure, job training, and healthcare. Additionally, the bill increases federal funding authorizations to ensure the ARC has the resources necessary to support these newly included counties.
