Abstract:
Northwest North Carolina is a region of small communities and many assets, including the native-born, rural and independent citizens. In order to find solutions for strictly local problems, the communities do not turn to Raleigh for help but have developed the Northwest North Carolina Development Association. This volunteer organization, established in 1954, evaluates problems and cooperatively seeks ways to turn them into opportunities for community development.
