In Memory of Mike Whitt,

On November 24th, 2011, Mingo County lost a great visionary, and West Virginia lost a champion for the people. Mike Whitt was the first and only Executive Director of the Mingo County Redevelopment Authority until his passing. The Redevelopment Authority lost a dear friend, and we are all privileged to have known him and to have worked with him toward making Mingo County a better place.  Whether serving as a public school teacher, working in the mining industry, serving in the House of Delegates or working on economic development projects, Mike’s passion for southern West Virginia was perpetuated by the success of countless development projects and partnerships that he so delicately pioneered.
