A community park was dedicated to Mylan on Saturday, Sept. 30, in recognition of the company’s financial support and leadership of flood relief efforts in West Virginia. Last year, after the devastating 1,000-year flood, Mylan kicked-off fundraising efforts for Homes for White Sulphur Springs and Homes for West Virginia with a $1 million donation. The park will be named “Mylan Community Park at Hope Village” for the global pharmaceutical company, which was founded in White Sulphur Springs in 1961.
To celebrate the dedication, White Sulphur Spring families and residents were treated to a free picnic and outdoor movie at Mylan Community Park at Hope Village, the new neighborhood built for displaced flood survivors. Homes for White Sulphur Springs were also dedicate new homes for several families relocating to Hope Village as part of the evening’s festivities. New homes being dedicated were made possible by the generous contributions of United Way to address an unmet need from the floods. The Village’s home rental program is being managed by Main Street White Sulphur Springs.
