Center tor Regional Progress qan it progress with no money? ti By Teresa L. Plumley Reporter ~I ~ Three years ago the Center for Regional Progress was established at Marshall and was billed as a pos­ sible key factor in the revitalization ofsouthern West Virginia. Now, the big question is whether the center will continue to exist all. The center was established here with the goal of conducting studies and providing consultant help to communities and industries. But because of state budget problems, a senator and Marshall's chief financial officer are wondering whether the center will continue to receive state fund­ ing, and what will happen if it does not.

Ned Jones, D-Cabell, failed in his attempt to get a $150,000 appropriation for the center included in the budget. Even if Marshall gives the center no funding, Bus­ ter Neel, vice president for financial affairs, said it would not be completely in the cold. Neel said the center still would have "soft money" - money raised by contracts, grants or other sources. What would be missing if the university excluded the center from its budget would be "hard money" (state appropriations). Depending soley on soft money is dangerous, Neel said. "Generally, there's a pretty good commitment, but only for a specific time period - usually a year." Problems arise when the businesses supplying the soft money decide not to continue, Neel s~id.
