Gov. Justice delivers $4.4 million Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization grant for Wheeling Gateway Center
Announces first time state has partnered with community to build an official welcome center
[link removed]
Gov. Justice announced ([link removed]) $4.4 million in funding through the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization (AMLER) grant program for the Wheeling Gateway Center.

Funding will be utilized to redevelop the former Wheeling Inn site into the Wheeling Gateway Center. The 20,000-square-foot welcome center will feature a heritage museum, event space, retail shops, office areas, a marquee restaurant, and outdoor plazas.

This historic investment marks the first time the state has partnered with a local community to build an official state welcome center. The model will allow more flexibility in the building's uses and free up West Virginia Division of Highways state employees who have traditionally had to oversee these facilities in addition to the roads in their district.

[link removed]
Gov. Justice ceremonially signed House Bill 206 ([link removed]) providing $2 million in funding to the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute.

The funding will allow the RNI to expand upon its current world-leading research using focused ultrasound technology to treat Alzheimer’s disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, and other conditions.

“What is happening here at WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute is the most groundbreaking work in healthcare today,” Gov. Justice said. “Our talented doctors are true champions of medicine, and I believe they are the finest in the nation. Now, the world knows it, too. These dollars will allow us to continue leading the way in healthcare innovation and putting West Virginia on the map. I can’t thank you all enough for your incredible work—you’re changing lives every day.”

Gov. Justice delivers $1 million Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization grant to Mylan Park
[link removed]
Gov. Justice announced ([link removed]) $1 million in funding through the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization (AMLER) Program for Phase II of Mylan Park’s KOA RV Resort and Campground project in Morgantown.

The funding will support the construction of 26 modular Lancaster Log Cabins and the paving of interior campground roads, enhancing amenities and infrastructure at the resort.

“Mylan Park has grown into a nationally recognized sports, recreation, and tourism hub,” Gov. Justice said. “This $1 million investment is not just about building cabins; it’s about revitalizing our landscape and providing world-class recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. What is going on especially at Mylan Park is truly incredible. They’re building brand new infrastructure left and right. You almost don’t recognise the place each time you come through here. I couldn’t be more excited for the future of this place.”
