Manchin and Rockefeller Announce Smart Economic Investments to Create Jobs in Mid-Ohio Valley
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Joe Manchin and Jay Rockefeller (both D-W.Va.) today announced that the Economic Development Administration will provide $60,000 to the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Council to invest in job creation and economic development in the region. The Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Council consists of the counties of Calhoun, Jackson, Ritchie, Roane, Tyler, Wirt and Wood.
“Establishing strategies to bring good-paying jobs to our state that will deliver paychecks for West Virginia families and offer economic opportunities are smart investments for our state,” Senator Manchin said. “This funding shows that a partnership between the public and private sectors can work together to help boost our economy and improve the economic success in regions across West Virginia and this country.”
“Targeted business investments in our rural communities can help boost job creation initiatives, which are key to any successful economic development plan,” Senator Rockefeller said. “I’m confident the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Council will put this investment to good use and support local efforts to make West Virginia a better place to work, live and thrive.”
