In the same way that the construction of Corridor H—a highway project that
will eventually connect Interstate 79 in Weston, WV, to Interstate 81 in Strasburg,
VA—connects the residents of Lewis, Randolph and Upshur counties, these
places are also connected by their thriving small-town communities and distinctly
Appalachian culture.
Thanks to the efforts of organizations like the Elkins-Randolph County Tourism
Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), Lewis County CVB, Randolph County
Development Authority and Upshur County CVB, these communities are home
to booming businesses both large and small, top-tier education and health care, a
growing creative culture and a variety of historic attractions and outdoor recreation
opportunities. Whether they are boasting about the region’s proud hardwood products
heritage by highlighting companies like AHF Products, teaming up with Davis
& Elkins College on innovative workforce training programs, planning events at
the beautiful Graceland Inn & Conference Center or touting the compassionate
care offered at St. Joseph’s Hospital, the organizations charged with growing and
promoting the communities along Corridor H have no shortage of inspiration.
