Senator Justice Joins Colleagues, Urges White House to Release Community Lending Funds

WASHINGTON– Today, Senator Jim Justice released a statement urging the White House to immediately release $324 million in funds for the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI):
“In West Virginia, our small businesses and community lenders are ready to put these funds to work. These funds have been approved for months, and every day they sit unused is a missed opportunity for communities that need them most. It’s time to cut the red tape and get this money out the door to support small businesses, create jobs, and strengthen our local economies,”said Senator Jim Justice.
