Our Work

Turning Vision
Into Reality

Brooke and Hancock Counties’ successful industrial legacy resulted in prime land becoming brownfields. The BDC has received state and federal funding for assessment, site remediation and cleanup of many sites that have created opportunities for local, national, and international investment. Although we provide other services, here are some of our site redevelopment successes.
