The Brad and Alys Smith Outdoor Economic Development Collaborative is helping lead a reimagining of the state’s outdoor economy one community at a time.
“The Smith OEDC embodies the concept of serving West Virginia,” said Danny Twilley, assistant vice president of economic, community and asset development for the Collaborative. “Everything we do focuses on utilizing the many assets here to advance the Mountain State’s economy, to improve the lives of the people living here and to celebrate what it means to live in this incredible place. Through outdoor recreation and community development, talent attraction and retention and youth development programs, we take serving this state to heart, and make strides each day through our efforts.”
