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.
