West Virginia Super Sites Raleigh Cty. Memorial Airport Ind. Park The site has a well designed infrastructure in place including an abundance of water as well as sewer, electricity and gas. Another plus for companies considering this site, the area offers lower utility rates than most of the nation. Located in southern West Virginia approximately 30 minutes from the Virginia border and one hour from Interstate 81, this site is also only one mile from I-64 and about five miles from where I-64 and I-77 merge. The site is adjacent to the Raleigh County Airport with two commercial-sized runways. Thanks to recent deregulation of the airline industry, commercial flights at this airport are limited, freeing the runways for planes too transport materials and products for companies located in the park. Anchoring phase one of the airport site is Klockner Pentaplast, a German-based plastic extrusion company. According to Executive Director of 4-C Economic Development Authority, Judy Radford, the Raleigh County Commission aggressively helped Klockner Pentaplast make its West Virginia site a reality. And, they are committed to giving this same “aggressive” help to other suitable companies that are interested in locating at the Raleigh County site. “This site is exceptional because of its proximity to the Interstates,” Radford said. “Also, we’re not experiencing labor shortages here like so many other areas. We have an abundance of trained labor that is unemployed and available for companies that locate at the Raleigh County Airport site.” For more information on the Raleigh County Memorial Airport Industrial Park, contact Judy Radford at 304-465-0585 (see ad page 93).
