A New Era of Growth
MEGAN BEVINS
In recent years, West Virginia has made undeniable progress across a variety of areas, creating a new era of growth and resilience for the Mountain State. From strengthening its workforce and attracting new industries to expanding existing businesses and revitalizing communities, the state continues working hard to ensure its steady growth and success. Attracting investments, creating meaningful partnerships and seeking out new economic opportunities has positioned the state as a place of opportunity and transformation.
None of this progress would be possible without the dedication of the state’ s hard-working businesses, leaders and community members who turn their visions into initiatives that push the state forward. To highlight their accomplishments, the Spring 2025 issue of West Virginia Executive features Developing the Mountain State, a special advertising section showcasing the way organizations are helping promote the state’ s achievements in development. These include serving other professionals, breaking ground on new operations or helping educate the next generation of leaders. With this special section highlighting organizations from a wide range of industries, it becomes clear just how dynamic, diverse and resilient West Virginia’ s economy truly is.
The success stories of each entity featured in Developing the Mountain State serve as powerful examples of what can be achieved through vision, collaboration and determination. They represent the spirit of West Virginians and their motivation to make the state a memorable and outstanding region capable of great things. This not only celebrates these achievements but also serves as a reminder that progress is ongoing, and with continued motivation and support, West Virginia’ s brightest days are ahead. •
