APPENDIX A Area Pl arm ing and Developrrent Plarming and developnent prorroting services have been available to GeOrgia counties and municipalities since the late 1950s when the Area Pl arming and Developrrent .Corrmissions (APOCs ) were established -- the first in the nation. CUrrently, there are 18 APOCs serving Georgia I s counties and cities. They identify problems, trends and issues that affect (or likely will affect) people in their r'espect.ive jurisdictional areas, and prepare plans to improve upon the identified situations. One APOC, the Atlanta Regional Cornnission, serves the Fifth Congressional District. 'Ihe jurisdictional area of the Atlanta Regional Cannission and the major issues that have been identified within the APOC as needing attention follow:

APPENDIX B Job Training Pr ogr am Georgia's Job Tralnlng Program is a partnership between business and goverrurent designed to train and errploy economically disadvantag=d and dislocated workers , 'The concept is realized through sixteen Service Delivery Areas (SDAs), each with a Private Industry Council (PIC). 'The
, PICs consisting of business and. .local corrmunity leaders, are responsible
to identify errployrrent and t.rajrunq needs, to plan programs to rreet these needs, and to oversee their operation.
'Three Service Delivery Areas, 3, 14, and 15, are operating in the Fifth Congressional District. In addition the Job Training Program funds statewide programs that benefit the District.
Grant awards in the arrount of $10,244,490 were made to SPecific service providers within the District in 1984. '!his arrount does not include matching funds that the local PICs must provide. Also, another $2,719,788 was awarded in 1984 to statewide agencies, such as the Georgia Departrrent; of Labor , 'Ihe statewide proqrams that serve the District are: ETployrrent Training Assistance for Dislocated Workers (Title III), State Education Coordination and Grants, and the Older Workers Program.
Since the incidence of FOverty and the percentage of people in the 15-34 age groups in the District are relatively high, these programs are eSPeCially important to the Fifth Congressional District.
