Park Deal Moving Forward
WEST VIRGINIA....
Dow Chemical says it will close the Dow Technology Park in South Charleston on March 1st if the state doesn't take it over. One day after being introduced, the West Virginia Senate unanimously passed a bill Thursday changing state code to allow the Higher Education Policy Commission and the state Office for Community and Technical Colleges to be relocated outside the capitol city of Charleston and inside the park. If the deal is approved by March 1st, Dow is donating the park to the state, along with $10 million dollars to be used at the park. But it costs several million dollars a year to maintain the park, and the state is working to come up with a solution to make it worth the price.
