CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) made stops in Brooke and Monongalia counties focused on economic development, innovation, and the future of health services in West Virginia.
First, Senator Capito visited the new Pure Watercraft manufacturing facility in Beech Bottom, W.Va. During the visit, Senator Capito delivered remarks at the facility’s ribbon-cutting event and saw a demonstration of one of the electric pontoon boats that will be manufactured on site.
“West Virginia is open for business, and Pure Watercraft’s new manufacturing facility is creating jobs to make their innovative, all-electric pontoon boats here in the Mountain State,” Senator Capito said. “I congratulate Pure Watercraft on this great achievement, and thank them for choosing to join our business family. I look forward to seeing their future success, and the impact they will make on our economic development and tourism sectors.”
Next, Senator Capito traveled to Morgantown, W.Va. where she visited Mountaintop Beverage’s 330,000 square foot facility. During her visit, Senator Capito met with the Mountaintop Beverage team to receive an update on the expansion plans, as well as how the company plans to help rebuild the dairy infrastructure in West Virginia.
“Mountaintop Beverage is doing incredible work of preserving West Virginia dairy farming and bringing it to younger generations,” Senator Capito said. “Their operation with the mission to create a great product with local, West Virginia ingredients is impressive, and I can’t wait to see what they do as they continue to expand and grow in Mon County.”
“Mountaintop Beverage and our team are proud to host Senator Capito today. We are so grateful to be here in West Virginia and can't thank her enough for all the ongoing support,” Jeffrey Sokal, CEO of MountainTop Beverage, said.
At the end of the day, Senator Capito visited Mon Health in Morgantown, W.Va. where she received a tour of the cutting-edge Mobile Nursing Lab and Cardiac Department and met with medical professionals to learn about some of the services offered on site.
“It’s great to see the state-of-the-art facilities at Mon Health providing incredibly important health care services right here in Morgantown, especially the mobile nursing lab,” Senator Capito said. “The doctors and nurses are doing life-saving work to help every patient gets the care they need, whether it’s childhood development, cardiac treatment, or anything our residents need.”
