Programs for Appalachian development authorized by the Act in- clude the construction of a developmental highway system, access roads, health centers, vocational educational schools and sewage treat- ment works; the development of land, timber and water resources, the rehabilitation of areas damaged by strip and surface mining; and the establishment of local development districts to support economic development efforts at the local Level. The Act authorizes the appro- priations of $1,092,400,000 to cover the Federal share of the cost of these programs, of which $840,000,000 is earmarked for the construc- tion of 2,350 miles of development highways and 1,000 miles of access roads over a 5-year period. The Commission has approved the con- struction of a total of 78.1 miles of development highways in Maryland. The Commission is not an operating agency. Its major function is the planning and coordination of programs and projects to be carried out under the Act by the appropriate Federal and State departments and agencies. The Commission can act only on those programs and projects which are submitted to it by State members. Its decisions require the affirmative vote of the Federal Co-Chairman and of a majority of State members.
