CAPITO SECURES FEDERAL RESOURCES FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA

Press Release

"As part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, we led the way through the EPW Committee to provide resources to help West Virginia upgrade and improve its water infrastructure systems. This funding will help accomplish our goal of ensuring our communities can make necessary infrastructure improvements, invest in cleaner water systems, and protect residents now and in the future.

These vital resources will help Beech Bottom upgrade its infrastructure so that the Ohio River Valley is safer for residents during potential flooding events. I have seen firsthand floods devastate communities across our state and will continue to help West Virginians proactively upgrade their local infrastructure to meet the natural challenges they face.

I was proud to secure resources that will help bolster local economies in rural communities across West Virginia. This support will help create jobs and strengthen rural area across our state, as well as assist WVU in looking into initiatives that will strengthen our food supply in West Virginia.

It's welcome news to see WVU taking on research projects that will help pioneer and develop new tools for the future. WVU has long been a leader in important research initiatives and I am proud to see the students and faculty working to uphold that reputation by discovering ways we can harness new technologies in the future.

Children and young adults are the future of our state and I'm committed to helping them on a path to avoid crime and reach their full potential. This funding will help that mission and keep our communities safe."
