Both houses of the West Virginia Legislature are to be greatly commended for the speedy passage of a bill that would give developers hoping to build a multibillion-dollar chemical processing plant a 25-year property tax break.
That bill sent a strong message that West Virginia is open for business and willing to do what it can to create jobs.
However, there is more work to be done.
After meeting with industry executives late last week, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin noted that he could go back to the Legislature this session with more ideas to help lure in companies looking to build an ethane cracker.
First off, Tomblin should be commended for being proactive on this issue. If the experts are correct and facility of this kind could do what is claimed, we need a leader willing to engage in a constructive dialogue with those making this kind of decision.
We also implore our delegates and senators to listen to what Tomblin tells them and then act with a sense of urgency and discipline. If we want to transform our economy and move this state forward, then we must recognize this opportunity and seize it.
