Representatives from twelve communities from across the state are in Huntington learning ways to deal with dilapidated and empty properties.

The twelve communities were selected by a statewide coalition of community development entities based on the amount of problems they’re having with dilapidated, abandoned and empty properties. The communities involved are:

  • Fairmont
  • Weston
  • Richwood
  • Wheeling
  • Ravenswood
  • St. Albans
  • Terra Alta
  • McDowell County
  • Alderson
  • Morgantown
  • Huntington
  • New Cumberland

They’re in Huntington through Thursday learning from experts about how to deal with the problem.

It’s all part of the BAD Buildings Summit being held at Marshall University. BAD stands for Blight, Abandoned and Dilapidated. The conference kicked off with a tour of some of the properties in Huntington that have been rehabilitated.
