McDowell Choices

McDowell Choices Program

Schools in McDowell County know there is work to be done. They're not dwelling on the county's frequent appearance on "worst of" lists, like poverty rate, life expectancy and childhood obesity.

The county partnered with WVU to create the state's first online farmers market to ship product outside of the area.
