WV DOES NOT CERTIFY SITES AND COULD
LEARN FROM PEER STATES
What is a certified site?
/ A certified site is a development-ready industrial site that
has completed a rigorous review process by the State and
an independent, third-party engineering firm
/ Specific site details, such as zoning restrictions, title work,
environmental studies, soil analysis and surveys, are assessed
for compliance and authenticity
