Governor Patrick Morrisey has awarded $2.1 million in Ready Sites grants to support engineering and architectural work that will help prepare business-ready sites across 23 West Virginia counties.

This funding is going to ensure West Virginia is competitive and well-positioned to attract new industry and investment for years to come.” — Governor Patrick Morrisey
