CONTENTS

What's Inside
08 The Arts
The Clifton Forge School of the
Arts, the Alleghany Highlands Arts
& Crafts Center, the Historic
Masonic Theatre and the Alleghany
Arts Council lead the way to assure
a rich, deep cultural life for the
region's citizens and visitors.

18 Recreation
It's easy when your region is
blessed with the likes of the
Jackson and Cowpasture Rivers and
the mountains that feed their flows.
And the region's trails-highlighted
by Douthat State Park's 40 miles-
cinch the deal.

26 Economic
Development
The Alleghany Highlands Economic
Development Corporation's
"Gauntlet" program is supporting
new business with grants and
in-kind services to complement
those already thriving in the region.

The strong C & O Rail heritage is
just one prong of a region steeped
in historic significance and beauty.
the 1930s-era Green Pastures at
Longdale is under review for the
National Register of Historic Places.

MEDIA

Three hospitals serving a region of
just over 22,000 is a great ratio,
especially when you consider the
wealth of outdoor opportunities,
events and programs that serve to
build the Alleghany Highlands'
well-being.

Two public school systems are the
bedrock underpinning for a region
marked by innovation and technology
in education. And to build upon that
foundation, consider the wide
offerings of Dabney S. Lancaster
Community College and several
specialized education centers.
