Our state is strongly positioned to continue moving forward in the global economy. Many companies have discovered
the advantages and benefits of operating a business in West Virginia. In order to assist state businesses in finding
the right resources, the West Virginia Development Office has prepared a comprehensive Business Resource
Directory, which details incentives and programs throughout the state that assist economic development.
This Directory provides information in a concise format that can be easily retrieved by prospective and existing
businesses seeking available incentives or programs that apply specifically to their needs.
It will also assist economic developers and state agencies in their endeavors to promote West Virginia as an ideal
business location, and answer questions citizens may have in searching for a specific agency or program.
You’ll find helpful information within the categories of Business-to-Business and Community Support, Education
& Training, and Financial, HR and Technical Assistance.
The Business Resource Directory is available for easy access on the West Virginia Development Office website
- WVDO.org - and in hard copy form. A WVDO representative is identified on the following page for questions
regarding the Business Resource Directory.
We encourage you to review applicable statewide and regional programs that can assist your business and help
you succeed.
Best wishes in all of your business endeavors.
Sincerely,

J. Keith Burdette
Department of Commerce
Cabinet Secretary
