Community Engagement
CMC is actively engaging with the local community, participating in events like the annual Berkeley County Independence Celebration and Youth activities, as well as providing job opportunities in the community. By investing in West Virginia and saying #YesWV, CMC is not only expanding its operations but also contributing to the state’s economic growth and sustainability efforts.
