Weyerhaeuser Company has announced a $1 million investment in Buckhannon, West Virginia, supporting community development through the company’s THRIVE program. The multi-year investment will help fund projects and initiatives identified by local leaders, nonprofits, businesses and community partners working together to strengthen the region.

Buckhannon was selected as one of a small number of rural communities nationwide to participate in the THRIVE initiative.
