WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today announced $3,868,229 from the U.S. Department of Interior’s Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program to 36 West Virginia counties.

“PILT program funds help offset shortfalls that our local municipalities face in serving their residents and invest in our communities.
