is what will make this area continue its success as one of the fastest growing regions in West Virginia. Greater Morgantown is a unique and thriving community boasting a major university, world-renowned research and development centers, two major health care facilities, Fortune 500 companies, major government offices, excellent outdoor recreational opportunities, convenience to major urban areas, and cultural resources all in the perspective of a small town.
In order for this trend to continue, there must be coordinated growth across the board. Transportation planning, in concert with land use planning, must be proactive rather than reactive. Developers and local government offices must work together to make good decisions. Community leaders must educate their constituencies on the merits of coordinated growth.
We can do this....we can plan together.
