(04/12/2001) A second meeting of the Little Kanawha Area Development Corporation was held in Elizabeth this week with Marlo Scruggs from the WV Community Development Office. The twelve member group is continuing to put pieces together for a two county economic development partnership between Wirt and Calhoun. Marlo Scruggs (R), WV Community Development Office and Fred Rader (L) of MOVRC Two-county economic development group meets in Elizabeth "This whole project is toward trying to bring jobs to our area," said Dan McDonald, President of the group. McDonald said a two-county group can access more money for economic development. It is expected the group will eventually hire a full-time economic development director. Scruggs reviewed requirements to help make the group functional, including the need to become a Certified Development Community and how to qualify for local economic development grants. Members of the organization are required to take training for economic development.
