An annual media preview of the upcoming West Virginia legislative session will be a virtual-only event.
The West Virginia Legislative Lookahead scheduled for Friday at the state Culture Center will not have in-person attendance.
It’s the second straight year that the event was moved exclusively online because of the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have surged over the past week statewide.
Among the scheduled topics Friday are education, economic development, broadband and infrastructure, and a panel discussion with legislative leadership.
The event is hosted by the West Virginia Press Association.
