Many of these Appalachian migrants moved into such large cities as Chicago. Cincinnati. Cleveland. and Detroit illequipped for the jobs that were available. It was recognized when the Appalachian program was first enacted that Federal spending only would not solve these problems. There had to be an effort to concentrate funds where they would do the most good and this would only be done by calling on local and State leadership to help make the decisions on which projects and programs were most beneficial. As it was conceived originally. the program was designed to create in Appalachia a climate to which private investment would be attracted and in which it would flourish as the ultimate solution to the longrange problem.
