Editorâs note: Each week weâre running a commentary from a different governor whose state is part of the Appalachian Regional Commission. Those governors will be meeting in a summit in St. Paul, Virginia, in October.
The hit country song âMountain Musicâ by the band Alabama may recount fond memories of many Alabamians growing up in a rural mountainous area where life is simple and family bonds are strong.
âOh, play me some mountain music; Like grandma and grandpa used to play.â
While a similar image may be the first thing that comes to mind when most of America thinks of the Appalachian region, we who live in states that are part of the region think not only of its rich cultural heritage and deep sense of family roots, but also its tremendous potential.
