It's not related to the announcement today, either.





That would possibly support the change to WestRidge Commons. Please let it be true


I wonder if that is just instacart coming soon or an actual Costco, because when I put in instacart wholefoods it also shows coming soon. And I doubt we are getting a WholeFoods unfortunately.

No rumors on this Fortune 500? Why do I feel a let-down coming? Lol. Hoping for something big. Also is anywhere live streaming this? WBOY, WDTV, Dominion Post, MetroNews, no one has anything even mentioned. You'd think this would be a big deal.

Nothing on WAJR. Tweeted them all and no response.

Sure feels that way and yes weirdly quiet in the media.

I've looked everywhere and nothing. Normally this would be on everything if the governor was making this type of announcement.

MetroNews previewed it during the morning news.

Gov. Justice's Facebook and Twitter usually stream announcements like this. So far, quiet. He might just be running late if he's coming from southern WV...some roads are still messy from yesterday's storm.

Apparently whatever the announcement is it is going on right now and is supposedly happening out where it will be built, maybe that is why there is no video since it would have to be using cell phone towers?


Never mind the part in red, its being announced at the Marriott.

It is Leidos, 30,000 square feet, 175 - 250 employees. Median Salary is 76K

So it is the building (yet to be built) behind Kmart in front of the power distribution center.

Pay is decent. Not a lot of employees but I'll take what we can get in this area. Is the number of jobs including who is already hired in Morgantown at the Don Knotts location or is this new employees?
