Over the past few years federal funds have increased to rural communities, but how are they actually getting to those communities? Tony Pipa, a Senior Fellow with the Brookings Institution in Washington DC, shares programs, leads the Reimagining Federal Rural Policy Initiative and hosts the Reimagine Rural podcast. In this episode, he demystifies the federal government and its resources, and talks about the need for a rural renaissance to ensure the available funding for rural and remote communities makes it to those on the ground doing the work across rural America.

Contemporary differences between rural and urban areas in America have their roots in long-term demographic, economic, technological, and social factors. Brent and the Brookings Institution's Tony Pipa are hosting conversations “On the Front Porch” with authors of recent research on issues facing rural America. These discussions explore the unique challenges and opportunities facing rural America and consider policy options to promote development and opportunity. Today, we bring you a recent conversation with economist Carol Graham. Graham's recent book The Power of Hope: How the Science of Well-Being Can Save Us from Despair discusses the role that hope plays in supporting the development of individuals and communities in America.

Tony Pipa, Senior Fellow at the Center for Sustainable Development at the Brookings Institution and Reimagining Rural policy initiative, talks about opportunities for rural revitalization from the Infrastructure Bill, CHIPS Act, and Inflation Reduction Act and possibilities from the upcoming Farm Bill.

In this episode Neil and Will sit down with a Rural "Evangelist" and policy expert Tony Pipa of the Brookings Institution, to discuss rural policy - or the lack thereof.  Among his many hats, Tony also hosts the podcast "Reimagine Rural" - exploring how investment in rural people and places can lead to increased prosperity.  Take a listen as Tony speaks on the often congested (and confusing) federal programs and why we need federal policy when it comes to the rural landscape.  Rural America has often been overlooked or just flat out forgotten when decisions are being made - Tony's argues it's way past due for the rural voice to have a seat at the table when policy decisions are being discussed and made.  You might even hear why a certain type of deli meat (if you can call it that) reminds Tony so much of "home."  Also, don't forget the #AppBiz of the week: The Heritage!

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Tuesday, Feb. 21  Residents of Thomas and Davis share how the mountain towns reinvented themselves into an outdoor recreation hub…from a bundle of inner tubes lashed together to a world-class resort, Adventures on the Gorge traces its origins back to some whitewater rafting hippies…and put a lid on it! That jar you're opening might be capped off with a product made in Glen Dale--#YesWV…on today's daily304. #1 – From BROOKINGS – In this episode of “Reimagine Rural,” podcast host Tony Pipa visits the neighboring towns of Thomas and Davis, former resource-dependent economies that have reinvented themselves as destinations for art and outdoor recreation.  Tony speaks with long-time residents who saw the community's decline, and newcomers who helped spur its revitalization. They describe the new challenges that come with economic growth and their hopes for community-focused sustainable development in the future. Listen to the podcast: https://www.brookings.edu/podcast-episode/protecting-community-integrity-during-a-creative-transformation-in-west-virginia/    #2 – From WV EXPLORER – Today it's one of the world's first and largest outdoor adventure resorts, but Adventures on the Gorge can trace its roots back 50 years to the earliest days of whitewater rafting in the New River Gorge.   In the spring of 1969, Paul Breuer and some friends rafted the New River on a set of inner tubes topped with a wood rowing frame. After numerous trips on the river, Breuer launched Mountain River Tours in 1973. It was one of the first companies to offer rafting trips on the New and Gauley rivers.    As whitewater rafting increased in popularity, more outfitters popped up in the region and waged a friendly competition as they courted guests with lodging, dining, and additional outdoor adventures.    In 2007, a group of investors with a passion for whitewater rafting and a vision for expanding tourism in the New River region brought together three of the region's top outfitters—Class VI, The Rivermen, and Mountain River Tours. The investors also acquired the outfitters' assets, including rafting equipment, cabins, retail facilities, and restaurants…and Adventures on the Gorge was born.

The Italian company took over the former Penn-Wheeling Closure site in the Northern Panhandle city when it purchased the company some 15 years ago. Tecnocap makes closures, or what the average person would call lids, for a variety of well-known brands including Classico, Raos, Village Candle, Anchor Hocking, Smuckers, Barilla, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, and more. It also makes sauce jar closures for local company Figaretti's. One of the company's newest closures being manufactured in Glen Dale are twist-off caps without sharp edges. The caps will have smooth edges that will a person opening a bottle of beer or other beverage to twist it off with their bare hand instead of having to use a towel or other barrier “It's easier to open and retains its vacuum, extending the shelf life of goods,” said Paolo Ghigo, president of Tecnocap LLC. The innovative new cap is named the SuperC.

In this first of a three-part series, Michelle talks with Tony Pipa of the Brookings Institution and Janet Topolsky of the Aspen Institute about the opportunity for the Biden-Harris administration to modernize and improve U.S. policy to support equitable rural development. Drawing upon the landmark report recently published by Brookings, Reimagining rural policy: Organizing federal assistance to maximize rural prosperity, Pipa describes the lack of a coherent federal vision regarding community and economic development in rural areas, with over 400 federal rural programs spanning 13 departments and more than 50 offices and sub-agencies. Topolsky describes  the challenges that any rural community faces trying to navigate the myriad of programs by themselves; rather, she says strengthening “rural development hub” intermediaries can catalyze regional efforts that help communities grow and thrive – as outlined in Rural Development Hubs: Strengthening America’s Rural Innovation Infrastructure. Pipa suggests that the U.S. needs to create a national rural strategy to help rural communities develop and thrive. He emphasizes the importance of locally led development that takes advantage of real-world, on-the-ground knowledge, builds on local assets, and improves equitable outcomes. Topolsky urges lawmakers to make rural a priority and keep in mind the diverse racial and economic contexts that exist in rural. She also reiterates the importance of flexible funding, so local organizations can decide how best to deploy that funding. This episode and the three-part series are sponsored by the Brookings Institution, www.brookings.edu.
