WV HR15

West Virginia House of Delegates expresses support for extending Interstate 68 from its junction with I-79 near Morgantown to West Virginia Route 2 at Kent, then across the Ohio River to Ohio, eventually connecting to I-75 between Dayton and Middletown, Ohio

The WV Route 2/Interstate 68 Authority was established in 1997 under House Bill 2539, signed by Governor Cecil Underwood, to pursue this highway extension

Resolution promotes the project as part of the "I-68 Energy Manufacturing AI Corridor" in the Shale Crescent region spanning Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, citing potential for job creation and economic growth

Urges the Trump administration, Governor Patrick Morrisey, state legislature, and federal representatives to secure funding for the interstate extension project
