Wvhtc Foundation

The High Technology Foundation, based in Fairmont, West Virginia, is dedicated to institutionalizing a knowledge sector in the state's economy through its Federal Anchor Model strategy. With a focus on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) related efforts, the foundation aims to facilitate economic diversification by attracting federal operations and fostering an entrepreneurial culture.

Under the leadership of President and CEO James L. Estep, the foundation has successfully developed the I-79 Technology Park into a premier economic diversification effort in the state. Through strategic recruitment efforts, the park has attracted government and private tenants, including high-priority national programs like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's supercomputing center, contributing significantly to the growth of a regional knowledge sector in West Virginia.
