| Overview
|
| West Virginia State University intends to use its Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) grant to continue and expand its role in the economic redevelopment of a blighted area in Charleston, the capital city of West Virginia. This project specifically seeks to: renovate the 5,000 square feet of un-used basement space at the HUD-funded Economic Development Center into two full-service commercial kitchens and training facility to provide start-up food businesses with critical access to a production facility that presently does not exist within reasonable distance to the service area; develop a microenterprise training program for the food industry and strive to serve 28 new food businesses within the grant period, utilizing staff and faculty from the university; and partner with the local community and technical college on the development of a culinary arts degree and workforce development initiative.
