The Charleston Area Alliance, Chemical Alliance Zone and MATRIC Boards of Directors at 10:30 a.m. this morning will meet jointly to consider a resolution reiterating the importance of the South Charleston Technology Park to West Virginia’s future economic prosperity.

A donation by Dow Chemical Company of valuable buildings and land located at the technology park to the State of West Virginia is pending.

If realized, the project could generate hundreds if not thousands of high value jobs, make the region highly competitive in research and development and create new opportunities for West Virginia’s coal, natural gas and other leading industries.

You may think work has stopped on the Greenspace project … but  Order’s Construction continues to make progress despite the bad weather. Between good days and bad days over the last few weeks, sections of sidewalk around the site have gradually appeared.
 

The picture above shows a section of the seat terrace wall taking shape. Look close and you will see where a row of brick pavers will be laid along each side of the sidewalk.
 
In this picture, you can see a finished section of sidewalk along Washington Street East and fast approaching the intersection of Washington Street East and Leon Sullivan Way. The offset section is where the brick pavers will be placed which will provide a border for the sidewalk.
 

Most of the granite curbing is in place along the perimeter of the project, and as seen here along Leon Sullivan Way, the Order’s construction crew has formed another section of sidewalk ready for a concrete pour. Notice the forming for the brick pavers.

We will all meet at this intersection soon!
