DIRECTOR'S REPORT FOR august 2010

A Note from the Executive Director

Greetings from Wayne County! There is no place quite like it and any imitators can only aspire.
You will note from our display pictures that we incorporate beautiful surroundings, and vibrant citizens with marvelous recreational opportunities and a unique and glowing business climate.
The Prichard Intermodal Facility (in the works now) emphasizes our growing reputation as a Transportation Hub in the Mid-Atlantic for over the road traffic, and our Tri-State Airport (deemed one the top  5 most rapidly growing airline facilities in the US)  grants an added caveat of establishing our bona fides as strong provider of air transportation as well.
Couple all of that with our location at the intersection of the Ohio and Big Sandy Rivers and it easy to see why we "glow" with such strong enthusiasm for "the county where the sun shines longest in West Virginia".
Come and experience our "growing season" here at the Western Gate to the Mountain State!
