OHIO COUNTY, W.Va. — West Virginia Rep. Riley Moore announced Friday afternoon that he helped secure more than $13 million in Transportation, Housing and Urban Development funding for the state, including $6 million for the Oglebay Grow Center and grounds in Ohio County.
According to a news release from Moore’s office, the funding will help expand hydroponic food production and improve access to locally grown food.
“These community project funding requests represent targeted investments in the infrastructure and economic development priorities that matter most to the people of West Virginia’s Second District,” Moore said in the release.
The funding was approved by the House Appropriations Committee and still needs approval from the full House of Representatives.
