$1.6 MILLION EAR-MARKED FOR HIGH TECH BRAXTON JOBS

(09/29/2006)

Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito has secured $1.6 million in the Department of Defense funding bill, approved this week by the U.S. House, to provide for high tech jobs in Braxton County. The money will be used to provide 25 jobs at Triune Software for work at the new Braxton County Technology Building in Flatwoods. The $1.6 million will be used on the EXODUS project, a high tech software system that will allow the Air Force to retain critical information as they experience a high turnover in their civilian workforce. Nearly 40 percent of Air Force civilian workers will be eligible to retire over the next five years, making it important that information be stored and efficiently shared between multiple bases so that knowledge is not lost. Congresswoman Capito has previously worked to secure funding from the Economic Development Administration to construct the tech building in Braxton.
