The Corridor H highway project got a major boost from the State Senate this week. The Corridor H Authority would be charged with bringing in new business with the goal of boosting the economy. The West Virginia Senate passed a measure creating the WV Corridor H Advanced Energy and Economic Corridor Authority that would focus on jobs, businesses and tourism. The route travels from I-79 in Weston, WV to I-81 in Strasburg, Virginia. A short connection would move drivers to I-66 to Washington, D.C. The authority will coordinate efforts in seven West Virginia counties to keep the flow going. The House of Delegates is considering the measure now.
