Steve Roberts points out that Leadership West Virginia is a great resource for both individual growth and the state’s future. He stresses that for West Virginia to thrive, there needs to be a real focus on quality education, accessible healthcare, and a business-friendly environment. One of the main challenges he mentions is the need for tax reform, as high corporate taxes can make it tough to bring in new businesses. Currently, population trends show people shifting toward border counties while cities see more economic action, so the goal is to use economic development as a way to tackle social problems. In the end, it’s all about creating a legislative plan that genuinely supports long-term growth.
