The Entrepreneurship for the Public Good Program envisions for eastern Kentucky (the KRADD region) to become recognized (through private, not-for-profit, private and social enterprises) as one of the great destination of the USA with a celebration of Appalachian heritage and life, innovative trails system, world-class adventure recreation venues, authentic frontier culture, art and music amenities, combined with local retail, restaurants, accommodations and businesses supporting the passive and active tourism and recreation economy. This model stimulated by the Appalachian Founder Network frames the six years of work conducted by the Entrepreneurship for the Public Good Program.
