“ I don’ t think I fully started to have hope for West Virginia’ s future until I was in this room a couple of years ago and got to meet all the people standing up here with me. It was an amazing moment for me to be reminded that our best days as a state are absolutely ahead of us and not in the rear-view mirror.”

– Andria Alvarez Wymer Director of Strategic Initiatives and Planning, Energy Transportation, LLC & Applied Construction Solutions, Inc.
