Braid Paisley Helps Rebuild After Floods

Country music star Brad Paisley is helping a home rebuilding project. A groundbreaking ceremony was held Saturday for 42 homes and a community park to be built on land donated by the city of White Sulphur Springs where homes were destroyed in the June 23 floods. Homes for West Virginia is a newly created partnership with local stakeholders and New Orleans-based SBP, a disaster recovery nonprofit group founded after Hurricane Katrina. Homes for West Virginia announced Saturday that Paisley has made an initial donation of $250,000 for the project. Pharmaceutical company Mylan has donated $1 million and Morgantown health care company MedExpress has donated $500,000. The project’s total fundraising goal is $20 million.
