COMMUNITY RESOURCES, INC. BEING INVESTIGATED - State Office Of Economic Opportunity Looking At "Status"

(11/10/2009)
State officials are looking into problems at a regional poverty agency that serves 11 counties, including Calhoun.

Following a special meeting of the board of Community Resources. Inc. in Parkersburg Monday, the WV Office of Economic Opportunity will be returning next week to commence what is being called an investigation.

Edward Harper, director of the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity, said "We will be looking at the overall health and status of CRI."

Sources close to the agency say that the investigation will include a review of CRI's application for additional stimulus funding, and that OEO officials will be looking at personnel issues.
