To be a Sharp Shooter means being a determined, hardworking leader in the Mountain State’s business community. This year, West Virginia Executive (WVE) has gathered 10 individuals who have taken significant strides in their fields to celebrate their accomplishments.
West Virginia is abundant in important resources like coal and natural gas, but it’s the Mountain State’s flowing water supply that is currently producing
massive amounts of revenue and great benefits for its communities.
For far too long, West Virginia has had to fight negative stereotypes and prove itself as a place worth investing in. Fortunately, this endless hard work has not gone unnoticed by companies like LG Electronics.
In an effort to grow their communities, several universities in the Mountain State have created new centers downtown. Marshall University, University of Charleston (UC) and West Virginia State University (WVSU) have all recently opened one of these spaces and hope that in doing so, they can generate a wide range of benefits for both the campus and the downtown area.
Much of West Virginia’s charm lies in its rural communities, where thousands of hardworking and dedicated citizens reside. Despite this, many of those areas are struggling with economic hardships and limited access to essential resources.
West Virginia is becoming a major hub for new business ventures. Organizations on a local, national and international scale are choosing the Mountain State as a location to build and expand their companies.
