Meeting/Event Information
Understanding the Legal Framework for Local EDAs in West Virginia
Join us for a free webinar for all WVEDC members.
This webinar will be held on March 25, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. and will be a virtual meeting.
Understanding the Legal Framework for Local Economic Development Authorities in West Virginia
John Stump, Member of Steptoe & Johnson, PLLC, will lead this discussion will focus on the powers and limitations of local EDAs which are created under West Virginia Code Chapter 7, Article 12. How will you know if you are created under 7-12? If you were created by a county commission or municipality and the county commission or municipality appoints your board members, you are likely a 7-12 EDA.
Some of the questions which we will explore include:
- Who is required to be on your board (Mayors, etc.)?
- When selling property, are you required to go through an auction?
- May an EDA borrow money?
- Is an EDA subject to the Freedom of Information Act?
Register by end of the day on March 24. The link for the Zoom webinar will be sent to registrants on the morning of March 25th.
This webinar has been approved for 1 hr. of LED credit.
