If a grant is approved by the West Virginia Development Office, the Jackson County Economic Development Authority (JCEDA) will receive $27,727 to promote local businesses.
Mark Whitley, JCEDA director, informed the Jackson County Commission at the Dec. 2 meeting, that marketing and business retention are two areas that the grant will help to address.
“We’ve gotten this grant for several years,” Whitley said. “It’s our hope that we will be approved again this year. We will update our website, jcda.org, continue our very successful Facebook promotions of small businesses, and recruit new businesses, while retaining those we currently have.”
