The CoRA, which may be an entity, organization, person or persons, is authorized by the government(s) that nominates the RC for designation. The CoRA functions as the RC's central point of contact and takes on the responsibility and authority to carry out the program as detailed in the course of action and certifications of commitment. The CoRA is also responsible for promoting RC benefits and making required reports to HUD. Rural Renewal Community Informal Discussion in DC Posted: May 9, 2002 By way of introduction, my agency orchestrated and has been named as the CoRA for the Mississippi Rural Renewal Community. This designation will go far in helping the economic situation in each of our designated areas. With this being a new program there are many unanswered questions, and each of us have similar challenges and questions. With that in mind I would like to invite you and your fellow Rural RC CoRA counterparts to join CMPDD on Sunday May 19, at 4:00p.m. at the Marriot Crystal City Hotel Restaurant or Cocktail Lounge Links to supporting agencies and institiutions Posted: March 28, 2002 Kentucky Enterprise Zone Program, UK Rural Studies, Local Government Guide URL Listings, and a gateway to statistics from over 100 U.S. Federal agencies |

The CoRA: Overseeing the Implementation of a Renewal Community The governing board of a Renewal Community is known
as the CoRA, an acronym for the Coordinating Responsible Authority. The
design of a CoRA is left to the state government hosting the RC. Here in Eastern Kentucky, ours was designed by the state of Kentucky.
The board is comprised of three representatives from each of the four
participating counties and a single representative from the state. The board convenes on a monthly basis to discuss matters germane
to the project, disseminate information into their respective communities
and report to the federal government regarding their progress and process.
One might assume that because all four of these counties share common
ethnicity, religion, form of government, heritage, culture and traditions
that this board would be harmonious and unified in direction and ambition.
This is not yet true in our case. The process of ignoring political bounderies and combining our efforts regionally to accomplish the greater good is proving a challenge. To report this struggle will take courage but it should prove to be interesting. We invite you to follow the progress of this experiment. |
