Southern Growth Policies Board fights regional misperceptions
A North Carolina based agency, the Southern Growth Policies Board, argues the South does not drain Northeast and Midwest taxpayers. Executive Director Blaine Liner cites defense spending as the only area where the South receives more, while other federal funds go largely to support growth and poverty relief. The board, formed in 1971, conducts research, forecasts regional economy, and pushes growth management policies for Alabama to West Virginia, with projects including satellite imagery mapping for environmental monitoring.
