WV Opportunity Zone Could Mean Industrial Park

Governor Patrick Morrissey announced that the western part of Mineral County is one of 52 new opportunity zones in West Virginia, targeting federal tax incentives, private investment, and business expansion. While infrastructure is lacking in the area, Mineral County Delegate Gary Howell says now is the time to build an industrial park…

“The state of West Virginia has 10 companies looking for a 40,000 square foot building with a 30-foot ceiling. If we had one sitting there that is opportunity waiting. This opportunity zone gives some additional incentive for a company to look there. That’s why I think the county should look at maybe putting in an industrial park up there.”
