Work Nearing Completion on WVHTC Foundation’s New Towers

Work is nearing completion of the West Virginia High Technology Consortium Foundation’s north and south towers that stand alongside I-79 in south Fairmont. The two buildings, which will cost about $25 million, are the newest addition to the foundation's sprawling I-79 Technology Park. Construction started on the project about a year and a half ago, and the buildings will house primarily high-technology companies. The facilities feature balconies, roof-top gardens, and a 6,000-square-foot conference facility.

The south building will be occupied first, and Northrop Grumman Corp. will be the initial tenant to move into the facility on March 1. Work has also started on the space for Electronic Warfare Associates Inc. (EWA) in the south tower, and that office should be completed and ready for move-in at the end of March. ManTech International Corp. is expected to move into the north building in May or June.
