Current Narrative:
Economic development strategies are primarily developed and implemented by the West Virginia Development Office. The WV Development Office works closely with WFWV, CTCs, CTEs, and Higher Education in evaluating labor market resources to present to current and potential business entities.
West Virginia has local economic and community development offices throughout the state to work in local areas. The WDS works closely with these local entities in an effort to promote economic development.
Further these entities all patriciate in West Virginia’s business service model. This model is a collaborate effort to identify and address the needs of the business community in each Workforce region. The Workforce Development System, the MACC, is the repository of data available to coordinate the service delivery.
