"The 4-C Economic Development Authority and I have partnered to help grow businesses in southern West Virginia since its inception in 1988. The 4-C EDA continues to be a great economic development resource for our region and I look forward to continuing our work together to create additional jobs and economic development opportunities in Fayette, Nicholas, Raleigh and Summers Counties. Their work is appreciated and certainly does not go unnoticed."
