A WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE STATE DIRECTOR

Jenny Phillips

I reside in rural America. I was born and raised in a small West Virginia community, and I would not change that experience for any other. I know the warmth of community caring, the benefits of knowing your neighbor, and the freedom of small town life. Even with all these advantages there are also many challenges facing rural West Virginia. With this in mind, I welcome you to the web page for USDA Rural Development in West Virginia.

I hope this site gives you a better understanding of our role in your community and rural areas. You will find office locations, service areas, personnel contacts and program information. You will find out what we do, where we do it and what we offer to help you improve your life and your community's life.

Our mission is to "help people." To provide this assistance we work in partnership with community and civic leaders, as well as non-profit, public and private sector organizations, to develop, sustain and improve rural communities throughout West Virginia. USDA Rural Development programs can assist with a wide range of rural community needs, including affordable housing, business and industry loans, water and wastewater projects, and community facility needs.

If you have questions about our programs and how we can help you, please call on our toll free number 1-800-295-8228, or send an email to Jenny.Phillips@wv.usda.gov
