CHESTER, W.Va. — Job opportunities are on the horizon in Hancock County.
The Business Development Corporation (BDC) has a new contractor for a project that’s been in the works since 2011.
News9 obtained an early look at the Rock Springs Business Park project.
“Just last week, United Bank loaned us $1.7 million to finance the construction of a brand new building, which is going to be the first phase at the former Taylor, Smith and Taylor Pottery site. We are now going to be calling it the Rock Springs Business Park,” said Pat Ford, executive director of the BDC.
The park is centrally located in Chester along the Ohio River. It’s visible from State Routes 2 and 30.
