Several Monongalia County business and nonprofit organizations are considering the possibility of forming a common coalition.
The Morgantown Area Chamber of Commerce and Your Community Foundation (YCF) recently received of a $75,000 grant from the Pittsburgh-based Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation to study the feasibility of merging the county’s economic development activities under a single umbrella organization.
“It’s something those of us who have been involved in these various organizations for the common goal of economic development have seen a need for,” said Kelly Kimble, chair of the Chamber’s board of directors.
The chamber and its partners have engaged Atlanta-based Market Street Services to conduct the feasibility study using the grant money.
