Kingwood City Council accepted a $2,000 brownfields assistance grant Tuesday, March 10, and agreed to move forward with the purchase of a building for its recycling program.
Carrie Staton, of the North Central West Virginia Brownfields Assistance Program, presented Mayor James Maier with the check from a minigrant sponsored by Wesbanco. The money is to be used to help the city transform an abandoned grocery warehouse into a recycling center.
Council approved a contract for the purchase of the Penmarva building near downtown Kingwood for the purpose. A public meeting will be held at 6 p.m. March 18, at Craig Civic Center, to discuss further uses for the building.
