How is the Heartland faring in 2018?

From Appalachia to the great plains, the Heartland is the backbone of America, providing the products we use, the food we eat, and the energy that helps make America what it is.


The Heartland often finds itself overlooked as resources and attention are paid to the large and growing urban areas from coast to coast. The Atlantic gathered policy makers, business and community leaders for an in-depth conversation on what the future holds for the middle of America. From education and the economy to agriculture and manufacturing, what does the societal future look like and how are communities working to provide opportunity for all?
