Marshall’s new Cyber Security Center would serve as ‘East Coast hub’ with $45 million in state funding

8/19/2023

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — State lawmakers give the go-ahead for Marshall University to build a Cyber Security Center in Huntington that would serve as the second of its kind on a college campus in the United States.

The bill proposed by Gov. Jim Justice this week would direct $45 million to Marshall to build the center. The bill was passed by lawmakers Tuesday during a special session. The vote on the bill was 67-30 and it will now head to the Governor’s desk.

“There’s only one such center like this in the country right. It’s at the University of Texas at San Antonio. We are trying to replicate that where we would be the East Coast hub. The Department of Defense is backing us and wanting us to build this other Center of Excellence in the United States so they can have one closer to D.C.,” Stroud said.
