Today we ceremonially break ground on a project that has been in the works for over a decade. It started as a request for help from the City of Thomas and the project was designed around input gathered through a series of community meetings.

Because we believe that dynamic and rich town centers encourage investment, inspire creativity, and bring people together; that they provide housing for all people; that folks make good decisions about the place in which they live; and that positive change is a collaborative process, requiring a long-term commitment of time, focus, and resources — we are in it for the long haul. We understand that this project isn’t late — it’s happening exactly when it was meant to.

The TAProom project is underway now but there’s still plenty of decisions that will affect how it becomes a part of the community so stay tuned, stay in touch, and let’s do this!!

Finding footing — the Five Rivers Building in Parsons is replacing a dangerously dilapidated structure that stood for many years on this prominent lot at the only traffic light in Tucker County. Thanks to the City of Parsons and the many community partners who helped us get to this point. We’ll be talking more about all of them as the project continues to progress.

Our new Tech Toolshed program was featured in an article in West Virginia Explorer Magazine magazine. This lending library for small businesses and organizations provides a big opportunity across our region.

As Clyde Craig said, “Outfitters, restaurants, artists, retailers, lodging operators, and community organizations increasingly rely on compelling digital content to reach audiences well beyond their hometowns.” The Tech Toolshed helps make that possible by providing free access to professional camera, audio and lighting equipment.
