MORGANTOWN INDUSTRIAL PARK ACCESS
MONONGALIA COUNTY
The West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) will hold a Public Informational Workshop to review the Environmental Assessment (EA) on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, at the Westwood Middle School Gymnasium, 670 River Road, Westover, Monongalia County, West Virginia for the proposed Morgantown Industrial Park Access Project. This meeting complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act requirements. The Environmental Assessment evaluated three build alternatives in a Preliminary Impact Analysis. That analysis advanced Alternative 3 as the Preferred Alternative because it meets the project’s Purpose and Need and is the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative.
WVDOH and FHWA will share project developments with the public and seek comments on the Environmental Assessment. No formal Presentation will be made. The scheduled workshop is from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and the public will be afforded the opportunity to ask questions and give written comments on the project throughout the meeting. A handout with project details will be available at the meeting and on the WVDOH Website.
The EA document will also be available for review at the following local government offices:
