West Virginia State Funding Boosts Infrastructure for Growth in Mason County
What happened
West Virginia is allocating nearly $60 million in state funding for water and wastewater projects across five counties. This funding is intended to address infrastructure needs tied to anticipated population growth. The growth is being driven by Nucor's operations in Mason County and the development of the Grand Patrician Resort. Additionally, a $95,000 grant was approved to complete funding for a sewer treatment plant upgrade benefiting Ona, Milton, and Culloden.
