WV needs modern tax code, fair courts, better education system to attract manufacturers

Posted: Updated:

The future of manufacturing was the topic of a recent economic development conference in Morgantown.

What was once a bedrock industry for this country is going through an interesting transition – output is at an all-time high, but the number of workers continues to drop.

Rather than long for the good old days, we need to embrace the future and do all that we can to encourage manufactures to invest in West Virginia.

That means three things - developing a modern tax code, ensuring fairness in our courts and preparing our students for life in the 21st Century.
