I drove on Route 48 this weekend. There are miles and miles of vacant land. Why choose something so close to town and the State Park? Is it true this site sits where the Go North extension of 48 would go? What makes this spot so desirable to this shadow company that moving it 5 miles down 48 can’t accomplish? This whole deal smells fishy. Doesn’t WV leadership complain about the federal government taking away local control while they do the same?
I was told by someone I trust to be knowledgeable on this issue that the proposed site sits on a major gas line, which reduce the amount of infrastructure building and approval needed for the site.
Canaan Valley and its protected lands are indeed a playground, but not for the rich -- for everyone, plus the protected species, headwaters and aquifers. There are many suitable locations for a power plant and data center campus. On the doorstep of the Valley is not one.
