The US Economic Development Administration awarded Capon Bridge a grant worth $2,607,000 to help fund a project in Hampshire County.

The grant was awarded on Sept. 27. The EDA describes the grant as follows:

"This EDA investment funds the construction of sewer service infrastructure to serve Capon Bridge Business and Technology Park, located within an Opportunity Zone in Hampshire County, West Virginia. The project will allow manufactures to locate in one centralized "green building"business complex, which will promote business expansion and retention. Once completed, the project will support an emerging cluster, draw private capital investment, advance economic resiliency, and create jobs."
