On this West Virginia Morning, for the third installment in our series on data centers, we look at how data centers proposals are provoking outrage from local opponents. For the Appalachia + Mid-South Newsroom, Kentucky Public Radio’s Joe Sonka reports that such fights are increasingly common — and bipartisan.
Also, heavy rains and thunderstorms passed through the state over the weekend causing flooding and mudslides throughout central West Virginia.
And, a federal judge declined the state’s request Friday to dismiss a lawsuit brought by West Virginia’s largest overdose prevention group, Solutions Oriented Addiction Response of West Virginia, also known as SOAR.
Finally, participants in West Virginia’s Tourism Works program have earned more than 25,000 microcredentials, and 1,000 college credit hours since the program launched last year, according to a press release from Gov. Patrick Morrisey.
