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.
