Description
Interstate 79 cuts a swath through West Virginia's Region VI. For the Mountain State, that swath is a band of gold. Known as the I-79 Technology Corridor, development along the interstate includes customized educational opportunities and sophisticated private and public facilities such as the FBI Fingerprint Identification Center in Clarksburg, which employs 3,000, and the Software Valley Corporation in Morgantown, where academia, business and government promote the application of advanced technologies.
