WELLSBURG, W.Va. — The Business Development Corporation’s achievements will be put in the spotlight by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the coming months. Officials from the EPA will pay a visit to Brooke and Hancock counties for a few days to profile the BDC’s efforts to repurpose abandoned mills and Brownfield properties. EPA officials toured some of the industrial sites the BDC is working to repurpose, like the Wheeling Corrugating Plant and the former Brooke Glass site.
