“Anyone born and raised in West Virginia knows that when it comes to the Mountain State, there is no better place to enjoy the great outdoors, and this funding will make ours even better,” said Chairman Manchin. “The Inflation Reduction Act continues to deliver for West Virginia and the entire country, and today’s announcement of $750K to expand community forests and green spaces will help ensure every West Virginian can enjoy our beautiful natural resources. This investment will improve several of our neighborhoods, as well as boost tourism across the state, and I look forward to seeing the positive impacts of the funding for decades to come.”
