College of Creative Arts theater plays, concerts, exhibitions, Art Museum presentations, and activities for any given month can be found on this site … new events are added regularly …
In what can rightly be touted as great news for Pocahontas County and for WVU's highly acclaimed astrophysics and astronomy programs, NSF funding for the Greenbank Observatory is now assured.
The board of governors has approved the construction of the new Business and Economics building. Also there are new artist renderings of what the $100 million, 180,000 square feet building will look like....it is very impressive and will majorly change the riverfront in this part of town... now if the rest of the riverfront area around it would be developed like this.

I really hope they utilize the riverfront with Reynolds Hall. The Mon has never been utilized as an aesthetic asset before. I hope in the future they'll add in a trash wheel above the dam similar to what they have in Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
There's no reason why the Mon can't be cleaned up and made safe to walk, bike, and kayak from Beechurst's shoreline. It will be a big undertaking with a lot of derelict buildings and the homeless population, but if Morgantown wants to continue remaking itself into a desirable place to live, big projects like this are a must in my opinion.

Frankly, I believe we need a new city government and city manager to move forward in a positive manner. Morgantown is an outstanding place to live and raise a family … great schools, nice public amenities, excellent athletic offerings, proximity to terrific outdoor amenities and a large city, and good eateries. The downtown area and waterfront, however, need a lot of work. The current council is mostly comprised of academics with a narrow focus that is oblivious to the needs of the ordinary person, and the city manager is nowhere to be seen in public and inaccessible to residents. That needs to change, the city needs to hit the political reset button, and a paradigm shift needs to take place to promote development within city limits.
The University continues to be our community's, and easily the state's for that matter, best asset. There is every reason for the city to join in with the school and county to promote cooperate endeavors that benefit everyone.
