Press Release

"West Virginia has a rich history of producing apples, which is evident in communities across our Eastern Panhandle. Our orchardists have been a steadfast staple of our state and deserve our support as they work to feed our residents and drive economic development. Sitting down with them and hearing about the challenges they face is so important when it comes to formulating solutions for the future and advocating for the resources they need.

I always cherish the opportunity to meet with West Virginians, hear about what's happening in their communities, and talk about the issues that matter most to them and I how I can help. The Martinsburg Rotary Club has a celebrated tradition of service spanning over 100 years, and their members are always engaged and eager problem-solvers. I was so glad to join their meeting this week and spend time with the club.

The Berkeley County Day Report Center does an incredible job meeting West Virginians where they are on their recovery journey. We all know the scars made by this epidemic, and the center does a wonderful job helping to repair some of the damage that has been created. It's encouraging to see their expansion efforts underway, and the increased ability they will have to serve those in our state who need it the most.

The Garage on King is an innovative business venture that is finding success here in Martinsburg. It was great to meet with Diego to hear about the ideas that led to this operation, and efforts that he and the vendors are taking to keep business moving. This is a great example of the kind of development that can be created in West Virginia, and I applaud Diego and all those involved on the success they've created since opening their doors this winter"
