Public-Private Partnerships
The State of West Virginia acknowledges the desire to introduce private sector capital and knowledge into the building of transportation infrastructure through the Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) program. With the offering of reasonable investment returns, West Virginia's public sector intends to partner with the private sector to develop, construct, and operate additional transportation projects.
Legislation and Authority
Public-Private Partnerships in West Virginia aren't just a good idea; they're a regulated one. They are governed by specific statutory requirements to ensure transparency, accountability, and that everyone plays by the same set of high-stakes rules.
