Our Impact

Invest Appalachia (IA) levels the playing field for residents and communities experiencing systemic barriers to prosperity.

2023 was IA’s first full year of operations.

Many of our IA-supported projects have only started to break ground and project results over the next three years. However, IA is excited to already witness the impact of helping investment worthy projects become investment ready.
