WASHINGTON D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) today visited the Appalachian Regional Airport, Reed's Sprayfoam Insulation, and the town of Kermit in Mingo County, West Virginia.
At the Appalachian Regional Airport, Congresswoman Miller joined community stakeholders from the Mingo County Redevelopment Authority, the Mingo County Airport Authority, the Mingo County Commission, and the West Virginia Aeronautics Commission to discuss ways the airport property can be better utilized to support the local economy and promote increased business and travel to and from the region.
She then visited Reed's Sprayfoam Insulation, where she toured the company's newly renovated facility and saw firsthand how the family owned business produces highly effective spray foam insulation to service homes and businesses in the surrounding regions and state at large.
Lastly, she stopped in Kermit to meet with local officials, including Kermit Mayor Charles Sparks and Fire Chief Hawkie Preece, to talk about how they can work together to improve the town's infrastructure, crush COVID-19, and strengthen the local economy.
"It was great to be in Mingo County today to see all the wonderful resources the region has to offer our state's growing aerospace and manufacturing industries," said Congresswoman Miller. "I am committed to getting our community the federal resources it needs to continue developing sites like the Appalachian Regional Airport, and to help bolster local businesses such as Reed's Sprayfoam Insulation. By supporting local projects and communities like those I saw today in Mingo County, we can revitalize our economy and make sure West Virginia gets one step closer to becoming both an aerospace and a manufacturing hub for the country and world. I look forward to continuing to work together with these local leaders to make West Virginia the best place to live, work, and raise a family."
