U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced $7,766,842 for West Virginia through the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). Funding will go to several entities across the state to support economic and workforce development effortsincluding broadband expansion, tourism development, and assistance for West Virginians affected by substance abuse.\nEconomic development begins at the local level, where community leaders work to advance projects that help create opportunity and growth, Senator Capito said. The ARC has been an integral partner in these efforts, and I will continue to work with them to ensure our West Virginia communities have the resources they need to position their economies for success in the future and improve the lives of everyone who calls these areas home.\nAppalachian Regional Commission funding supports economic growth and community development efforts throughout West Virginia. Connecting West Virginia businesses, entrepreneurs and job seekers with the resources they need to succeed is a vitally important step towards further developing our economy. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee I will continue advocating for grants like these that are important investments in the future of our West Virginia communities, Senator Manchin said.\nIndividual awards listed below:\r\n \r\n$2,034,667  Coalfield Development Corporation\n\r\n$1,800,000  West Virginia Forest Products Cooperative\n\r\n$1,499,175  Marshall University Research Corporation\n\r\n$1,370,000  Natural Capital Investment Fund\n\r\n$749,000  BridgeValley Community and Technical College\n\r\n$150,000  West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey\n\r\n$100,000  Region II Planning and Development Council\n\r\n$64,000  National Coal Heritage Area Authority\n\r\n \r\n\r\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.capito.senate.gov/news/press-releases/capito-manchin-announce-77-million-in-arc-funding-for-west-virginia"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7738862186670303, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
