Corridor H Authority Announced:
The West Virginia Department of Highways has announced that the ribbon cutting ceremony for the Kerens to Parsons section of Corridor H will take place on Monday, June 22, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. on the bridge in Kerens.
This is a day many of us have been looking forward to for a very long time. Generations of West Virginians have advocated for this highway, and we are finally seeing another major piece of this critical corridor become a reality.
Corridor H has already transformed communities across our region, and the completion of the Kerens to Parsons section represents another significant step toward connecting our state, creating economic opportunities, and improving travel for residents and visitors alike.
The public is invited to join us as we celebrate this historic milestone and recognize the many individuals, communities, and leaders who never gave up on making this day possible.

The program provides free access to audio, camera, and lighting equipment with pilot locations in Greenbrier, Franklin, and Tucker counties.
ELKINS, W. Va., June 2026/ Woodlands Development & Lending presents “Tech Toolshed,” a cost-free program that allows small businesses and non-profits to borrow high-quality tech tools and equipment to further their business goals and mission.
This program was created to help businesses and organizations present their services professionally, as most rely on social media and marketing materials to increase sales.
The current inventory includes professional photography, video and audio recording equipment kits that contain everything needed to create a mobile photography or recording studio. The Audio Kit consists of a microphone and headphones system to record podcasts, two-person interviews, or voiceovers. The Camera Kit is customized for beginners and can be adapted for professional photography and videography. It includes a full-frame mirrorless camera equipped with additional microphones and accessories for photography and video production, content creation, and hybrid shooting.
The Lighting Kit provides a simple, beginner-friendly lighting set up for product shots, head shots, portraits, and more. It includes soft boxes that diffuse light, two light stands, and two professional light bulbs.
Funding for the Tech Toolshed was provided through a joint initiative between Appalachian Community Capital and Goldman Sachs, helping CDFIs deploy capital to small businesses in the region. As part of this effort, Woodlands invested in the kits to help businesses increase their visibility and strengthen their brand.
The Tech Toolshed kits are available to pick up at the following locations and must be returned at the same place. Some locations may allow for on-site use. Late fees may apply.
