CHARLESTON, W.Va. — U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced a Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) award from the Small Business Association (SBA) to the Ohio Valley Industrial & Business Development Corp. to support safety and security measures at Wesbanco Arena in Wheeling, W.Va. This award was secured through a CDS request made solely by Senator Capito.

“When I visited Wheeling in 2021, I learned about the ideas and needs for the arena that would enhance and ensure safety for the people who attend the multitude of events they host. I’m proud to use my role in the Senate Appropriations Committee to secure the resources needed to make these improvements possible. I look forward to visiting Wesbanco Arena again soon to see these installations and enjoy events with fellow West Virginians at one of our premier venues in the state,” Senator Capito said.

Individual award details listed below:

  • $675,000 in SBA funding for Ohio Valley Industrial & Business Development Corp. (Wheeling, W.Va.) to support security and safety enhancements for public programs at Wesbanco Arena.
