The Realizing Regional Resilience Scholar Community aims to address the issue of "brain drain" in the Appalachian region, particularly in Fayette County. This phenomenon refers to the out-migration of skilled individuals, which significantly hampers the economic competitiveness and growth potential of the region. The Scholar Community will engage in an asset-based approach, identifying and leveraging the county's cultural and natural assets to foster sustainable economic development and community resilience.
