CAPITO SECURES SUPPORT FOR A VARIETY OF WEST VIRGINIA PROJECTS

Press Release

"I am proud to secure resources that will help mothers and children receive the care they need, bolster our public health infrastructure, and improve our state's preparation for potential public health emergencies in the future. As Ranking Member of the Senate Labor-HHS Appropriations Subcommittee, I will always advocate for the health care support that West Virginia needs. We continue to see success stories in West Virginia communities thanks to the Brownfields program. The funding announced today from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will support WVU's efforts in helping assess, clean up, and redevelop former industrial sites across our state. Making sure our rural communities in West Virginia get the resources they need is critically important. This support from the USDA will help ensure that West Virginians have greater access to high quality food and affordable housing in our rural areas. I am glad to see that Amtrak is seriously evaluating daily service for the Cardinal line, which has eight stops in West Virginia. Bringing this level of service, as well as improving the railroads in my state are some of the reasons I negotiated the bipartisan infrastructure law."
