On February 6, 2003 the West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) hosted a public meeting workshop to receive comments from local residents on the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) for the Parsons to Davis section of the Corridor H project.

Nearly 40 area citizens attended the meeting at Blackwater Lodge in Davis to review materials, ask questions and offer comments on the potential environmental impacts from construction of the 10-mile segment.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved the SDEIS for the project earlier this year and the meeting served as an opportunity for local residents to express their opinions on the roadway. The WVDOH will continue to accept public comments on the SDEIS through April 22, 2003.
