West Virginia is receiving $6.4 million to support projects that strengthen communities through job creation, health care, housing, and tourism.
Among the recipients, Marshall University Research Corporation will receive $1,186,651 for its Building Resilient Communities (BRiC) initiative in Cabell and Wayne counties. The project will support housing revitalization through property assessments, redevelopment planning, and workforce training, with goals of supporting 100 workers and serving eight businesses.
Access to quality housing and a skilled workforce are essential to sustainable economic growth. Investments like this help strengthen communities, support local businesses, and create new opportunities across the PAZ region.
Congratulations to Marshall University and its partners on this important investment in West Virginia’s future!
