West Virginia’s HUBZone program gives small businesses a leg up…More than 80,000 WV locations are now eligible to receive broadband funding, thanks to latest reports…and meet Lucy Pickles, the four-legged inspiration behind Swilled Dog ciders…on today’s daily304.

#1 – From WV COMMERCE – A HUBZone is a geographic area that has been historically underutilized when it comes to small businesses and economic development.  

The HUBZone program gives participating small businesses a competitive advantage when bidding federal contracts and can provide a lucrative alternative revenue stream.

Small businesses taking advantage of the HUBZone program receive a 10% price evaluation preference when bidding on federal contracts, meaning the bid is considered at 90% of the total cost of the project when compared against 100% of the cost of other bids.

#2 – From WV GOVERNOR – Gov. Jim Justice says the Federal Communications Commission’s latest update to the National Broadband Map will mean the opportunity for broadband funding for an additional 80,700 unserved and underserved locations in West Virginia.

The most recent update to the FCC map expands eligibility to 271,000 unserved locations in West Virginia, an increase of more than 80,700 locations now eligible for broadband funding. This funding will be allocated to states under the Infrastructure and Jobs Investment Act Broadband Access Equity and Deployment Program. The allocation formula is based upon the number of unserved locations by state, and other demographic factors.

“This is an outstanding result for West Virginia,” Kelly Workman, Director of the Office of Broadband, said. “When given the opportunity to provide broadband data, West Virginia residents stepped up and assisted our office in this effort. Our primary goals are to ensure that all West Virginians are accurately represented on the national broadband map and to obtain all available funding for broadband expansion to unserved areas of West Virginia.”

Following an international search of almost two years for the music director role, Cohn was selected from six final candidates, who each spent a week in Charleston learning about WVSO and conducting its musicians in an Elliot Foundation Symphonic Series concert.

A graduate of Oberlin Conservatory studying cello performance, history, and mathematics, Cohn also has a master’s degree in conducting from the Eastman School of Music, where he worked frequently with the Eastman orchestras and OSSIA New Music Ensemble.

“I am beyond thrilled to be joining the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra family,” Cohn said. “When I came to perform here in April, I was immediately struck by the energy and passion for music — both from members of the orchestra and everyone in the WVSO community. This is a place that cares deeply about the power of music to transform our lives, and I feel incredibly lucky to get to be a part of that exciting project.”

Birdeye Bend is a scenic loop that leads travelers throughout the northern region of the state.The scenic loop both begins and ends in Morgantown but is dotted with charming mountain towns along the way. The 173-mile journey can be completed in just over a 4-hour round trip via car or motorcycle.

It marks the fourth route of the West Virginia Mountain Rides program, a collaborative partnership between the West Virginia Department of Transportation and the West Virginia Department of Tourism to designate and promote the Mountain State’s most scenic country roads.

“The Mountain Rides program is such an important part of tourism in West Virginia,” Gov.

Mason County anticipates major growth in the wake of the Nucor plant…Bethany College joins the WV Waterfall Trail…and Generation WV hosts a Summer Night Soiree…on today’s daily304.

#1 – From THE HERALD-DISPATCH – John Musgrave predicts a very different-looking Mason County in the next 10 years.

Musgrave, the Mason County Economic Development Authority’s executive director, says the county’s economy and population could change dramatically over the next decade. He says it will be mostly driven by the planned Nucor West Virginia steel mill in Apple Grove, but other developments are also having a positive economic effect.

Nucor’s investment is expected to spur up to $25 billion in economic activity over the next 10, according to an analysis by the West Virginia University Bureau of Business and Economic Research.

Musgrave said the Henderson area across the Kanawha River from Point Pleasant has been identified as a potential place for commerce. 

“We want to make an investment to create businesses over there such as a hotel, motel, restaurants, and even maybe a box store or two and a gas station,” he said. “We may even be looking at maybe a major rest stop over there for the four-lane coming through.”

#2 – From WTRF –  It’s easy to miss Parkinson’s Forest at the back of Bethany College, with only a small map marking the start.

The Tourism Department has a new guide specifically for falling streams along the country roads.

Bethany is now home to one of the 38 on the list, and is even among the heavy hitters like the ones near the New River Gorge.

At the turn of the 20th century, there were few paved roads in America, but the proliferation of the automobile demanded a highway system. Over the next forty years, roads were developed that connected cities and states through commercially named roads while the Pennsylvania Turnpike set in motion the desire for that new concept of a “superhighway.”

Officials celebrate Pure Watercraft ribbon cutting with an electric pontoon ride…WV’s Tokamak Energy recognized with award from the Dept. of Energy…and Clean Vision signs a $50 million deal to open a facility in Kanawha County--#YesWV…on today’s daily304.

“You couldn’t even hear it running,” Carmichael said after climbing off the craft following a short trip on the Ohio River. “The pontoon is so smooth. The boat is going to be an incredible success.”

The zero-emission pontoon will be built at a production facility at Beech Bottom Industrial Park in Brooke County. 

Pure Watercraft’s selection of West Virginia was announced last August. The state is helping the company turn a former steel plant building into a production facility.

“It’s about 120,000 square feet completely refurbished. There’s still some more work to do but they plan to be producing boats with 100 employees by the end of the year,” Carmichael said.

Upon completion of construction and commencement of operations, the facility, located in Quincy in eastern Kanawha County, will process plastic for conversion to clean energy at a rate of 100 tons per day, starting in 2024, with plans to scale up to 500 tons per day over time.

“We found the event really opens up a lot of doors for us,” said Francis Goossens, global business development manager, TROY Group. “We felt it was really very efficient; in one or two days you can get so many contacts that you wouldn’t be able to do by traveling around in a week or two.”

#2 – From DC NEWS NOW –  A conference in the Nation’s Capital singled out West Virginia’s STEM education program as a model for other states to follow. Its focus? Delivering healthcare to rural and underserved communities.

The West Virginia model starts kids as early as 9th grade to acquire the skills needed to enter the health professions.

“The difference it has made in their lives,” said Bethany Hornbeck, a West Virginia health education consultant, “In their communities – these kids are the first generation to go to college, a lot of them. They’re from low-income backgrounds, they’re African-American, and they’re rural. These are kids who would not necessarily be going to college.”

The program approaches 30 years of success in the Mountain State. Successful completion leads to a tuition waiver to any in-state college.

#2 – From WV EXPLORER –  The Great Seal of West Virginia may be as fascinating to some West Virginians as the U.S. dollar bill is for other Americans. It's full of symbolism, the origins of which continue to be examined. Some of its symbols are mysterious, while others are likely more obvious.

What is a state seal? A seal is a device designed to authenticate a document, usually a legal document. In this case, it's an official state document. 

West Virginia’s state seal bears the motto “Montani Semper Liberi,” meaning “Mountaineers are always free.” In the center, an ivy-covered rock is inscribed June 20, 1863,” the date of the state’s foundation. On the left, a farmer clothed in traditional hunting garb wields a plow and an ax, indicating that while our territory is partly cultivated, it is still in the process of being cleared. He also holds a sheaf of wheat and a cornstalk. On the right, a miner carries a pick-ax. He has lumps of minerals at his feet and an anvil and sledgehammer on his left represents the mechanic arts.

A West Virginia native premieres her music video featuring scenes from Charleston…and it’s festival time, with the Celebrate Princeton Street Fair and the Winfield Water Sports Weekend taking place this weekend, so get ready to have some fun!…on today’s daily304.

#1 – From METRO NEWS –  Charleston residents got a first look at a West Virginia musician’s first ever music video recently at Short Story Brewing.

Logan native Kate Boytek was on hand for the showing of her music video, “Anywhere,” and to sing some acoustic songs for the dozens of people who came to support her.

President and CEO of the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau Tim Brady is also a huge supporter of Boytek’s work ever since he saw her perform at Live on the Levee in 2022. He approached the musician with the idea that they work together to promote Charleston.

“We wanted to work with people who were local, passionate and talented, to talk to their followers about this place that we all call home,” Brady said.

Boytek said she’d always wanted to showcase her home state.

“It has been such a beautiful journey,” she said, giving all the credit to Brady, her closest friends and some of the businesses that were included in the music video that Boytek has always had a close connection to.
