West Virginia, the “home” that country singer John Denver longed to return to, was once known as a coal-mining state. But that industry’s fallen on hard times. Now healthcare is driving the economy, and that, combined with West Virginia’s natural beauty and low cost of living, makes it a great place to live. Internet service is growing to support the technological advances as well, with speeds up to 1,000 Mbps available.
