The former Brooke Glass project in Wellsburg and the former TS&T Pottery site project in Chester, both owned by the Business Development Corporation of the Northern Panhandle; Shinnston Activities Park in Shinnston; Spencer’s Landing (formerly Johns Manville) in Vienna; and Staats Hospital in Charleston each will receive a $3,000 West Virginia Redevelopment Collaborative FAST Track program mini-grant plus technical assistance.
The announcement was made at a recent WVRC event at Stonewall Jackson State Park. WCRC is housed in the Northern West Virginia Brownfields Assistance Center in Morgantown.
“FAST (Financial Analysis and Strategies Teams) Track focuses on providing financial education and expertise to existing Redevelopment Collaborative projects,” said Carrie Staton, Redevelopment Research & Collaborations Manager for the Northern WV Brownfields Assistance Center.
