Bill > HR15

This resolution expresses the West Virginia House of Delegates' support for the I-68 Energy Manufacturing Corridor, a proposed infrastructure project aimed at connecting the abundant natural gas and natural gas liquids produced in the Shale Crescent region (spanning parts of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania) to the Midwest for improved commerce. The resolution highlights the corridor's potential to boost economic growth, create thousands of jobs, and facilitate the development of energy, manufacturing, and AI technologies, while also acknowledging the need for improved infrastructure to handle increased natural gas extraction. It specifically urges federal and state officials, including the White House, the Governor, and legislative bodies, to actively seek funding to extend I-68 from its current junction with I-79 near Morgantown, West Virginia, to Marshall County, West Virginia, across the Ohio River, and ultimately to connect with I-77 in Ohio and I-75 in Ohio.
