Gateway Industries, Inc. (formerly Southeastern Regional Workshop, Inc.) was chartered under the laws of WV as a private, non-profit organization on April 2, 1980. The Workshop is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors which is broadly representative of the community. Gateway is an educational and vocational community rehabilitation program for the disabled serving approximately 600 disabled citizens since its inception. Our primary goal is to develop the capabilities of individuals and to enable them to become self-supporting through employment in the business and industrial sectors. Gateway has had the highest success rate of any like agency in the Greenbrier Valley accomplishing this goal; and, is currently enjoying the far above average success rate of our disabled clients, of whom we are justly proud. Our workers have become self-supporting taxpayers, not tax consumers. Gateway Industries, Inc. not only makes an impact on the individual client's life, but also on the community through wages paid. Gateway currently employs 45 individuals. The following wages were paid over the past seven years: 1992 $159,040 1993 $279,444 1994 $326,088 1995 $339,428 1996 $228,909 1997 $265,176 1998 $269,423 1999 $255,943 2000 $249,619 2001 $313,680 2002 $315,024 2003 $374,408 2004 $350,822 2005 $450,000 2006 $470,000 Gateway's total operating budget is 96% production income.
