Inside Putnam County’s Growth with Megan Lomax

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I’m talking with Megan Lomax at Meet-Up 64 about her role in making business easier in Putnam County. Megan explains how this event connects professionals from Huntington, Charleston, and Putnam County, helping them grow their networks. She shares insights into Putnam County’s growth, with projects like Toyota’s recent expansion and findings from the Advantage Valley housing study highlighting its potential. Megan emphasizes that manufacturing jobs are essential, as each one creates three additional jobs in the community, attracting more businesses. She also discusses a recent industrial supply chain expo that helped local suppliers connect with larger employers, strengthening local ties. Megan directs listeners to resources like the Putnam County Development Authority, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Visitors Bureau for anyone looking to get involved in the area.
