I was proud lead the charge to redesignate New River Gorge as a National Park and Preserve in 2020, and since then the world has taken notice of what we have here in West Virginia. Our National Park has been recognized by TIME Magazine as one of the best places to go in the world, USA Today as a top travel destination, and the number one underrated travel destination by U.S. News and World Report. This is just the beginning! 🌳🍃🍂

KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) made stops in Kanawha County celebrating Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) projects that she helped secure. First, Senator Capito traveled to Clendenin, W.Va. to attend the groundbreaking of the Leatherwood Water Extension alongside Kanawha County Commissioners and other local officials. In Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22), she helped secure a $5,230,000 CDS allocation to make vital upgrades to the city’s infrastructure. Through this project, the water extension will expand services to residents, serving over 100 households and adding 23 fire hydrants with 6 miles of pipes. “It was great to be in Clendenin today to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Leatherwood Water Extension,” Senator Capito said. “I was proud to help secure federal funding for this project to support the ongoing economic development and overall growth that’s happening here. This process has been a true collaboration, and I look forward to seeing the many benefits it will have on our communities.” To finish the day, Senator Capito traveled to Dunbar, W.Va. to attend the Kanawha Metro 911 Command dedication ceremony for their new mobile command unit. While there, she delivered remarks and received updates on their recent CDS projects. In Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26), she secured a $720,000 award to enhance the mobile command unit and a $520,000 award for a backup fire truck. This funding, which is a part of today’s dedication ceremony, will increase critical response times and help save lives. “It was an honor to be in Dunbar to take part in this dedication ceremony,” Senator Capito said. “I was proud to help secure two incredible CDS awards for this project to help equip our community partners in Dunbar and Kanawha County with the resources they need to protect and serve. As a leader on the Senate Appropriations Committee, I remain committed to advocating for the needs of our law enforcement and first responders.” “On behalf of the residents of Kanawha County, the County Commission would like to thank Senator Capito for her support. We are proud to have worked with her to secure federal funding to ensure the residents have access to clean water and to purchase a new mobile command unit and fire truck. These critical resources, which would not be possible without Senator Capito’s championing of federal funding, will allow us to respond throughout the county to anything from a house fire to a large-scale disaster.” Ben Salango, President of the Kanawha County Commission, said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), visited Marshall University’s Bill Noe Flight School to celebrate the announcement of Marshall University Division of Aviation’s partnership with BETA Technologies. Senator Capito has been a consistent supporter of Marshall’s flight school and has made several visits over the years. BETA Technologies is a leading aerospace and defense company in the U.S., manufacturing electric aircraft systems and charging infrastructure. Marshall University’s partnership with BETA will focus on electric aircraft workforce development and training, cargo transport, intelligence gathering, medical transport, and helping prepare students for a diverse career in aviation. “It is great to be here today in Charleston to celebrate the announcement of Marshall University’s partnership with BETA Technologies,” Senator Capito said. “Marshall University Division of Aviation sets the standard for aviation education, and I have been proud to support them in their mission to foster high-quality aviation and talent right here in West Virginia. This collaboration will have an immense impact on the future of aviation, and I look forward to seeing the many benefits it will bring to our state.” This is a milestone moment for Marshall University Aviation as we look toward the future of aviation," Brad D. Smith, President of Marshall University, said. "Our aviation program is not solely about teaching students to fly; it is about preparing them to lead in one of the world's most dynamic and essential industries. This groundbreaking announcement is a testament to what can happen when Marshall brings the right people together and turns bold ideas into action. Kudos to everyone who made today's announcement with BETA Technologies possible." "Investing in this complete technology ecosystem establishes Marshall University as an early adopter and regional leader in advanced air mobility education," Bill Noe, Chief Aviation Officer at Marshall University Aviation, said. "By embedding electric propulsion, thermal management and modern flight controls directly into our flight and maintenance programs, we are ensuring our graduates are ready to lead the aerospace industry into the future while driving economic opportunity across Appalachia." On Wednesday, Senator Capito announced a $2,502,000 Congressionally Directed Spending award to Marshall University’s Aviation Program that will aim to increase capacity at Marshall University Aviation with additional training tools and equipment.
