2025 earmarks canceled for West Virginia projects

Senator Shelley Moore Capito's office confirmed that the 2025 earmarks for West Virginia are canceled if the current spending bill passes. This includes significant funding for various projects, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. Morgantown officials stated they have not received any official updates regarding state or federal grants. The cancellation affects projects like the Morgantown Industrial Park Access Road and revitalization efforts in lower Greenmont. Local agencies are now exploring private funding options to continue their projects. They are concerned about the loss of federal support and are seeking to attract developers for attainable housing in the area.
