Moore presented a $900,000 check to support the expansion of Marshall University Aviation’s in-person training program, strengthening workforce development in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle and addressing critical shortages in the aviation industry. The funding, secured through Congressman Moore’s work on the House Appropriations Committee, will support the construction of a new training facility dedicated to aviation education and industry training. The expanded facility will provide hands-on instruction for aspiring pilots, dispatchers, and unmanned aerial system operators, while also offering stand-alone courses and customized training opportunities for local businesses. The Marshall University Aviation expansion will serve both students and working professionals, helping to build a pipeline of talent equipped to meet industry needs. The facility will also play a key role in supporting regional employers by offering specialized training programs tailored to workforce demands. The project is expected to enhance aviation training capacity in the region and position West Virginia as a leader in workforce development within the rapidly growing aviation sector. Congressman Riley M. Moore released the following statement: “The investment in Marshall University’s aviation program is a commitment to West Virginia’s future workforce and economy. This new facility will expand opportunities for training in pilot certification, dispatch operations, and unmanned aerial systems, while also supporting the needs of local businesses. I’m proud to have secured $900,000 in funding through my work on the House Appropriations Committee.” ### | 1 | 2026-06-11T06:38:38Z | 2026-06-11T06:41:07Z |
