Supporting the completion of Corridor H connecting Elkins, West Virginia, to Strasburg, Virginia.

Whereas, There is a long-term need in north central West Virginia for world class transportation infrastructure and the completion of Corridor H connecting Elkins, West Virginia, to Strasburg, Virginia; and
Whereas, From Elkins to I-81, the number of accidents will be reduced by thirty-six percent and fatal accidents by fifty percent and business and services to the county will increase due to the traffic flow; and
Whereas, More areas identified as growth potentials will be reached and the vast productive capacity of the northeast will be reached by West Virginia's timber and extractive industries. Other West Virginia industries will be served by allowing economical access to the wealthy markets as close as one hundred fifty miles away and tourism will be served by the influx of visitors from those markets; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the completion of Corridor H connecting Elkins, West Virginia, to Strasburg, Virginia, is hereby supported; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby requested to forward a copy of this resolution to the governor and to members of West Virginia's congressional delegation.
