MACED creates economic alternatives that work for people and places in Appalachian Kentucky. We aim at promoting “high road” development efforts—strategies that result in adequate wages and meaningful work, protect the environment and make a difference to communities most in need. We work with people to demonstrate development ideas that work, provide fi nancial capital and expertise to make them a reality and conduct research and educational activities that support meaningful public policy. We are currently demonstrating sustainable forestry in the region and promoting an alternative to predatory payday loans. MACED is also working in partnership with KFTC to create a stronger and more effective economic development system in Kentucky— one the supports an economic future for the region beyond coal.
