WV Metro News | Sunday, January 19, 2025
An investment firm, Sidewinder, LLC, plans to construct a massive 1 million square foot water packaging facility in the historic town of Middleway, raising concerns among residents about potential environmental impacts, including the extraction of water from local aquifers and the effects on well supplies. The facility, named Mountain Pure, aims to create local jobs and bolster the economy but faces opposition from groups like Protect Middleway, who worry about the ecological consequences and the safety of their water resources. As discussions intensify, upcoming town hall meetings and discussions at Charles Town Utility Board highlight the community's involvement in shaping the future of this project, as reported by WV Metro News.
