Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the first responders, service members, and ordinary Americans who demonstrated extraordinary courage in the days that followed.

We remember the families and communities forever changed by that day and reflect on the strength, compassion, and unity that emerged in its aftermath.

Regional growth is built through steady progress. Sometimes that means launching a new business or investing in infrastructure. Other times, it means developing a plan, connecting the right partners, or taking the next step toward a larger community goal.

NRGRDA works alongside businesses, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and local partners to help turn those steps into lasting progress. Each project moves the New River Gorge region a little closer to a stronger, more connected, and more prosperous future.

Every new business opening represents investment, opportunity, and confidence in the future of Southern West Virginia. But some businesses do more than strengthen our economy. They help create a healthier, more sustainable community.

Bud’s Recycling Co-op is a great example. By making recycling more accessible and convenient for Fayette County residents, businesses, and schools, Bud’s is helping divert recyclable materials from landfills while encouraging environmental stewardship and shared responsibility. Their work shows how entrepreneurship can create economic opportunity while also addressing an important community and environmental need.

Through WV Hive and its network of partners, NRGRDA is proud to support entrepreneurs at every stage of growth, from business planning and technical assistance to grand openings and expansions. When local businesses succeed, our communities grow stronger.

Every new business tells a story of passion, perseverance, and community investment. This month's 2025 Grand Openings Spotlight features The Wooly Gorge, Fayetteville's cozy yarn shop and handmade haven offering natural fibers, crochet and knit treasures, and Appalachian charm.

Before opening its doors in August 2025, owner Alyssa Hosler worked with WV Hive Regional Business Advisor Matt Nichols to refine the shop's retail layout and create an inviting customer experience. As the business continues to grow, The Wooly Gorge plans to utilize WV Hive technical assistance to strengthen its online presence through website development while preparing for its full grand opening.

Supporting entrepreneurs from concept to launch is at the heart of what NRGRDA and WV Hive do every day. We're proud to celebrate businesses like The Wooly Gorge that are helping strengthen Southern West Virginia's local economy.
