PATTERN (Planning and Accelerating Textile Technology and Entrepreneurship Regional Network) represents a collaborative, regional approach to accelerating the outdoor and manufacturing industry within the New River Gorge. The project will leverage the assets within the region’s rural and coal-impacted communities including WVU Tech students, skilled workforce, industry heritage, natural and cultural resources, and more, to advance the textile manufacturing sector. Working in tandem with established and successful organizations in West Virginia and North Carolina, the project will result in the development of a ready workforce, investment into manufacturing and artisan resources, leveraging of culturally relevant skills, and an increase in capacity of the region.
