What happened
Under Democratic Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, plans were underway to develop the former Hobet mine site into a major planned community featuring light industrial, commercial, retail, office, and residential properties. Jim Justice scaled that project back to a National Guard training site. This change occurred amid discussions regarding West Virginia’s role in hosting various forms of waste storage.
