The city of Fairmont and its partners have a new headquarters for their revitalization efforts.
The city held a ribbon cutting at a new studio for the “Your Neighborhood, Your Future” project – a partnership between Fairmont’s Urban Renewal Authority, landscape architecture students from West Virginia University, and the Brownfields Assistance Center. The project, which is supported by the West Virginia Redevelopment Collaborative (WVRC), affects the city’s Beltline community.
