The West Virginia Humanities Council has announced an immediate suspension of all grant programs, a move that may impact various cultural initiatives and organizations in towns like Charles Town and Harpers Ferry. Local schools and libraries that benefit from such funding could face challenges in maintaining their educational and community programs.
