Jonathan, I'll tell you another story.
I grew up in Durham, NC (tobacco road). As early as the 1950s, local leaders
recognized that tobacco's days were numbered. Business leaders and elected
officials sat down and came up with a vision for the future: Research Triangle

Jonathan, I'll tell you another story.
I grew up in Durham, NC (tobacco road). As early as the 1950s, local leaders
recognized that tobacco's days were numbered. Business leaders and elected
officials sat down and came up with a vision for the future: Research Triangle
Park. RTP today is home to 40,000+ jobs, and is the economic center of the
Raleigh-Durham metropolitan region.
RTP in North Carolina has been a huge success! It was modeled on the Stanford
Research Institute (SRI) - which is the basis of Slicon Valley. RTP leveraged
the strengths of three universities in the region: Duke, UNC, NC State. West
Virginia can invent its own future as well. Identify the strengths of your
people, and show leadership (both private and public) to transition to the
jobs of the future.
Don't cling on to the past (NC didn't cling on to tobacco in the 50s), be
proactive optimists, and move forward!
