  Jefferson County Convention & Visitors Bureau (JCCVB)
  37 Washington Ct, Harpers Ferry, WV 25425
  This project is to create a full service ``green'' Welcome Center/
Attraction along Rt. 340, the eastern Gateway into West Virginia and 
across from the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Nearly 5 
million visitors come here annually.
  Awarded under: Housing and Urban Development: Economic Development 
Initiative
  Morgan County Ice House Art & Community Center
  PO Box 248 Berkeley Springs, WV 25411
  The Morgan Arts Council, owner of the Ice House, has been renovating 
the former cold storage building in the heart of downtown Berkeley 
Springs for use as an economic development, education and art center. 
The requested amount of funding is needed to match a WV Cultural 
Facilities grant which is already beyond original end date. The 
extension granted is soon to expire. The total amount of funding with 
your allocation plus the state grant would allow construction of 
necessary infrastructure to finish development of the second floor and 
of the upper two floors of the four-story, 40,000 sf structure.
