Press Release

"West Virginia has a proud tradition of involvement in space exploration and the aerospace industry, and by making investments like this at the Challenger Learning Center in Wheeling, we can help make sure that tradition continues. I am very thankful for the leadership of Wheeling University and the support from NASA to help make this relaunch possible, as well as the dedication and hard work from the staff of the Challenger Learning Center. For our youth, the journey to the stars starts right here in Wheeling.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

As a native of Glen Dale, it is always special to travel to the Northern Panhandle and spend time in this part of our state. The City of Wheeling has always been central to our state's economic success, and I cherish the chance to visit with business leaders and individuals who are driving development here. I'm thankful that the Wheeling Area Chamber invited me to speak at this year's luncheon, and I look forward to continuing our work with local leaders to build on momentum and keep Wheeling moving forward."
