In order for a State to receive funds under this Act, every 3 years, or more often if the State board chooses, the State board shall designate local workforce investment areas within the State. The State board may designate such an area even if no application is received for the area under paragraph (2). The State board shall establish a process by which one or more units of general local government may apply for designation as a local area. The State board shall approve any application for designation as a local area from any unit of general local government with a population of 1,000,000 or more.
In making the designation of local areas, the State board shall take into consideration— the extent to which the local areas are consistent with labor market areas; the distance that individuals will need to travel to receive services and activities provided in such local areas; the resources of such local areas that are available to effectively administer the services and activities carried out under title III; and any other factors that the State board requires. Subject to paragraph (2), the State board may designate the entire State as a single local area.
The State may require local boards to share, in feasible cases, employment statistics, information about employment opportunities and trends, and other types of information that would assist in improving the performance of local boards. The State may require local boards to coordinate the provision of worker training services and activities, including the provision of transportation and other supportive services. Two or more States that contain an interstate region that is a labor market area, economic development region, or other appropriate contiguous subarea of the States may coordinate or jointly exercise the functions described in paragraphs
(1)and
(2)in that region.
