The Upper Kanawha Valley has investments in several of the targeted sectors from the West Virginia

Development Office. Specifically, there are current investments from the following sectors:

Specialty Metals

Chemicals and Polymers

Wood Products

Energy Sector

The Upper Kanawha Valley is currently interested in new investment opportunities and new sectors and

believes an optimal sector for new investment would be in tourism development. The extensive

property acreage available, location to transportation systems, and existing recreational opportunities

provide an excellent prospect for a recreational based investment on the property.

The Hatfield McCoy Trail system recently announced a proposed off road recreational trail head nearthe Kanawha County/Lincoln County area of US 119. The facility would be independent from the existing

ATV system and offer off road vehicles a facility for their vehicles. The PVR property is ideally suited for

this type of investment as the property already has the needed infrastructure from the mining facilities



transition during the past three years offering visitors an experience destination with multiple activities,

including: ATV trails, zip lining, canopy tours, horseback riding, guided tours of the under deck of the

New River Gorge Bridge, water park, and aerial tours of the New River Gorge. The region as a whole hasan abundance of lodging and dining facilities to support the influx of visitors.

The Office of Coalfield Community Development (OCCD) was created

during the 1999 legislative session to

assist communities affected by sur-

face mining activity throughout the

state. The legislation was effective June 11,

1999, and the OCCD became opera-

tional July 1, 2000. In July 2007, the OCCD became part of the new West Virginia Division of

Energy, under the West Virginia De-

partment of Commerce.

Mission:

The mission of the OCCD is to identify

and assist communities affected by

surface mining activities to develop

plans for long - term economic viability after mining.
