One of Chandler Swope’s most impassioned missions as a West Virginia state senator is the eradication of the blight that plagues our communities in the form of dilapidated structures. For seven years, he’s been a tireless advocate for the removal of these abandoned, decaying buildings that not only pose a physical hazard but also serve as potential breeding grounds for illicit activities.

These structures, often a stark reminder of economic downturns, not only mar the landscape but also jeopardize the safety of local residents. Chandler knows that by taking a decisive stance on this issue, he’s not just addressing aesthetic concerns, but also safeguarding the wellbeing of West Virginians. He firmly believes that our neighborhoods should be places of security and pride, not hazards that residents must navigate with trepidation.

By pushing for funding to tackle this issue head-on, Chandler is demonstrating a deep commitment to the revitalization of our state. He understands that these structures, if left unaddressed, can inadvertently become hubs for illicit activities, compounding the challenges faced by our communities. By taking proactive steps to remove them, Chandler is working to break this cycle and restore a sense of safety and security to our neighborhoods.

Beyond the immediate benefits of a cleaner, safer environment, Chandler envisions a West Virginia where the removal of dilapidated structures serves as a beacon to new industry. He knows that potential investors and businesses are more likely to consider a state where the landscape reflects progress and opportunity. By eradicating these eyesores, Chandler is not only cleaning up our physical surroundings but also sending a powerful message: West Virginia is open for business.

In his unwavering dedication to this cause, Chandler Swope exemplifies a leader who understands that progress starts from the ground up. His vision of a revitalized West Virginia, free from the burden of dilapidated structures, is not just a dream, but a tangible goal within reach. By standing with Chandler, we’re not just endorsing a cleaner, safer state; we’re championing a brighter, more prosperous future for all West Virginians.
