West Virginia towns push back against air permits for chemical firm

Kanawha County residents are pushing back against a West Virginia industrial chemical company seeking state regulators' approval for two air permit requests. Ryan Kirkpatrick, climate and utility organizer for the West Virginia Citizen Action Group, said the company is asking the state to modify its existing permits to loosen emissions regulations at its facility in Dunbar-Institute, outside of Charleston. Union Carbide claimed the modified permits will not increase chemical emissions but residents disagree. "They're saying, 'Hey, we're not producing as much as we possibly could, so I feel like you guys should be a little bit less stringent on the regulations, the monitoring,'" Kirkpatrick asserted. Kirkpatrick explained residents are concerned about the effects of increased ethylene oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. Environmental groups, including Mom’s Clean Air Force , argued the changes would increase health risks for households, particularly children sensitive to air pollution. Kirkpatrick noted Dunbar-Institute, a historically Black community, has dealt with generations of higher exposure to pollutants and higher-than-average rates of cancer and illness. "Every house has someone who's either passed away with breast or lung cancer or testicular cancer. Those are like really, really common," Kirkpatrick observed. An activist told West Virginia regulators at a public

Governor Morrisey Announces Final Steps to Allow Wyoming County Manufacturing Expansion

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (The Hinton News) - Governor Patrick Morrisey announced that the West Virginia Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council would be assisting the John D. Rockefeller Industrial Park in Wyoming County, allowing manufacturer Oceanetics to more than double its workforce with 25 new full-time jobs. “West Virginia has the skilled workforce and resources to attract manufacturers that are creating good-paying jobs right here in our state,” said Governor Morrisey. “This investment will help Oceanetics expand its operations, create new opportunities for families in Wyoming County, and strengthen Southern West Virginia's growing manufacturing economy. We're committed to making sure businesses have the infrastructure they need to grow and succeed.” The investment will support construction of a new 15,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at the industrial park in Pineville, owned and managed by the Wyoming County Economic Development Authority (EDA). The expansion will allow Oceanetics to increase its workforce from 20 to 45 employees, adding skilled positions in welding, machining, fabrication, and engineering. The company also plans to invest $1.2 million in specialized manufacturing equipment. Oceanetics manufactures advanced maritime buoy systems, naval defense equipment, and port security technologies serving the U.S. Navy and the energy security sector.

Ross, Pike County data centers differ greatly in size, power and water use

CHILLICOTHE— Data centers, data centers, data centers. Between the proposed data center in Chillicothe and the data center being built in Pike County it can feel like all anyone is talking about is data centers. That doesn't even begin to include all the conversations about the other data centers being built and either supported or protested by communities around the country. With so much talk, it is easy to get confused, especially when you are talking about two sites so close together, like the ones in Ross and Pike counties, which are less than 40 miles apart. Both of these projects involve turning brownfield sites into data centers, but that is largely where the similarities stop. Based on what project leaders from both sites have said, the centers will vastly vary in size, energy and water usage and more. Ross County The proposed data center in Chillicothe would be built on the former paper mill site, which is owned by U.S. Paper Mill, which is leasing the land to Alignment Engine. During a public meeting in September , David Stanfill with Alignment Engine said the proposed data center for Chillicothe is expected to be 6.5 acres in size, offer around

Ohio Family Farm Operating Since 1919 Opens a Two-Day Thanksgiving Market for Smoked Turkeys and Pies

Homemade pies and turkeys get their very own two-day market at one Ohio family farm right before Thanksgiving. That’s a holiday shortcut I can fully get behind. The family behind it has been farming since 1919, which is a lot of harvests. More than a century of growing food tends to make people very good at feeding a hungry crowd.

Retro Report: The opening of Walmart and its effect on local business

Twenty-four years before Chick-fil-A opened on East State Street, people were standing a few hundred feet away protesting another national chain: Walmart. When the Walmart Supercenter opened in 2002, its arrival came after years of pushback from Athens residents concerned about what a retailer of its size could mean for local businesses and the city around them. Today, Walmart is a normal part of East State Street. Chick-fil-A is its newest neighbor.
