The purpose of the Council is to function
as a cooperative economic social and cul-
tural development agency within Allegany,
Garrett and Washington Counties by devel-
oping a comprehensive development plan
for the region served; providing liaison with
local, State, and Federal Agencies; preparing
data and studies to support comprehensive
development planning, including the recom-
mendation of projects and activities to meet
the public service needs of the region; pro-
viding assistance in the implementation of
the State's Appalachian development pro-
gram in the region, etc.
