Abstract:

The North Carolina Arts Council is leading an economic development and cultural preservation initiative for western North Carolina. The Blue Ridge Heritage Trail will serve communities that want to highlight their own cultural heritage as an economic development strategy. By focusing on the region’s most compelling stories, communities can attract tourists to experience distinct traditions.
