WV Allocates $5M To Establish Catholic Think Tank

The Parkersburg News-Sentinel reports:

The West Virginia Water Development Authority approved giving $5 million to an Ohio-based Catholic-affiliated career and vocational college to expand into the state and to create a conservative think tank without a required recommendation from one of three state officials.

The Water Development Authority (WDA) unanimously approved providing $5 million in Economic Enhancement Grant Fund (EEGF) dollars to the College of St. Joseph the Worker, a Steubenville-based college affiliated with the Catholic Church.

The funds will need to be spent by Dec. 31, 2026. “I’m thrilled about this project for our people in the Northern Panhandle, especially for our young men and women,” said Del. Pat McGeehan, R-Hancock, in an email on Dec. 23.
