  • By Dean Six from Fiery Orb to Art Glass
    DNR Artist David Houser of Moatsville creates By Dean Six sun catchers using glass made at the Wissmach factory in Paden City. © Dean SixWV ong ago, the glass industry in West Virginia ceased to boast about huge factories that employed 2,500-plus people. Whereas more than 450 glass factories operated in the state over a period of 200 years, today only four remain. A few decades ago, appealing brochures touted a tour of pottery and glass factories strung along the Ohio River and across northwestern West Virginia. Many vacationing families in station wagons used these brochures like pirates’ maps to discover glass treasures along specified routes. Yet today, due to a number of factors, includ- ing the growing use of plastic and the increasing cost of natural gas, almost all of the big glass factories have closed their doors. They largely leave a legacy of memories in their communities, as well as distinctive products sought by collectors. Nonetheless, the large-scale production of hot glass is still happening in West Virginia, and exquisite products are still being made. This article explores three companies still making tableware, giftware, and sheet glass in the Mountain State. A fourth com- pany, Marble King of Paden City, rolls out close to a million marbles a day and was featured in Wonderful West Virginia earlier this year (See “Mad for Marbles,” February 2013). From Fiery Orb to Art Glass craftsmen and gifted designers. Glassmakers work in multiple Since 1922, the town of Milton in Cabell County has been 16-member “shops” throughout the factory, with each shop home to Blenko Glass Company.

    WV JOBS INVESTMENT TRUST BOARD ANNUAL INVESTMENT ANALYSES JUNE 30,2015 Message from WVllT Executive Director To our WVJIT Board of Directors and State Legislators: Since our inception in 1992, the WVJIT has played an instrumental role in our state's economic development. WVJIT was created to develop, promote and expand our state's economy by direct investment in West Virginia's enterprises to create jobs, sustain growth, and provide new opportunities. Our investments touch major sectors within this state's economy such as manufacturing and energy, yet we have also been able to invest in emerging sectors that will play a role for our state's future growth such as healthcare, biotechnology, software, and engineering. As of 2015, WVJIT has invested a little over $11 million dollars across 21 companies in a broad array of sectors. Total equity investment and loans provided are $6.3 million dollars and $4.7 million dollars, respectively. A total of 514 full-time equivalent jobs have been created, which equates to $21,276 of WVJIT investment for each full­ time equivalent job created. This is less compared to a study, which reflected that for every $30,668 of private venture capital invested between 1970 through 2005, there was one job in the year 2010. Though the national government provides subsidies, which are a direct cost to the taxpayer, directly to corporations with the intention of creating demand for workers for low salary jobs, venture capital investment not only provided a substantial monetary return, but also sustainable high salary grade job creation. In January 2012, the State of West Virginia received the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) funding to give the state's small businesses access to new capital.
