CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A company in Putnam County is looking to expand and bring new jobs to the area, but it won't happen unless it gets some help from the county.

The company's name is not being released at this time, but here's what we can tell you.

Putnam County Commissioners voted Tuesday to apply for a $400,000 grant to help pay for road repairs near the company's site.

County leaders say the repairs could cost about $250,000. If the road is repaired the company says it will build a new building and create new jobs.

The rest of the grant money would be used to build an access road from the new Route 35 to the Putnam Business Park in Frazier's Bottom. Right now, the park is only accessible from the old section of the road.

The county is expected to release more information about this project in a few weeks.

A new business, with no name, is using $400,000.00 to fix a road so it can build a building. Better look and see which socialist politican lives and that district and what he or she really does with the money.
