The purpose of the Wyoming County Economic Development Authority is to promote, develop and advance the business prosperity and economic welfare of Wyoming County, its citizens and its industrial complex; to stimulate and promote the expansion of all kinds of business and industrial activity which will tend to advance business and industrial development and maintain the economic stability of the county, provide maximum opportunities for employment, encourage thrift, and improve the standard of living of the citizens of the county; to cooperate and act in conjunction with other organizations, federal, state or local, in the promotions and advancement of industrial, commercial, agricultural, and recreational developments within the county, region, and state. This VISTA project will create job readiness in diverse industries, provide workforce opportunities, create entrepreneurial databases, and implement strategies for the Wyoming County Planning Commission that will address the community needs in Wyoming County, WV.
