In 2023, the Greenbrier Valley Economic Development Corporation contracted with Insite Consulting to enhance marketing efforts of each of the GVEDC commercial properties within the three-county region of Green- brier, Monroe and Pocahontas counties. The Edray Industrial Park is one of two Pocahontas County properties.
This March, the Town participated in a Virtual Training session in cooperation with Insite, the State Development Office and GVEDC. This was a statewide utility meeting and not necessarily site specific to the Edray property. Nevertheless, knowing that Insite Consulting is working closely with the State Development Office on this program can only help in the process of finding a future tenant. Also, as Citynet gets closer to the Edray site with Broadband fiber, this can add to addressing another missing piece of the Edray Industrial Park puzzle.
FYI – The Town crew has cleaned the gravel off of Main Street about three times in the last month. During that time, we have had just enough snow and freezing weather for Main Street to be a mess of gravel again. The next cleaning will be put off until the week of April 22, just before the Great Greenbrier River Race (GGRR).
You should know, Region-4 staff and Downstream Strategies have submitted Congressional Direct Spending requests to both Senators Manchin and Capito for the Town’s water-sewer project and the trailhead project. Both will have tremendous economic benefit, if awarded.
