WVU-Parkersburg to Sell Downtown Properties

West Virginia University at Parkersburg is selling two downtown properties that were donated to the school in 2008.

The university’s governing board agreed Wednesday to sell one property to Parkersburg Brewing Company for a brewery and wholesale and retail sales outlet. The purchase price is $251,000.

The Mid-Ohio Valley Area Development Corporation will pay $210,500 for the other property donated by The Erickson Foundation.

Proceeds of the sales will go to the university’s capital improvement fund.

WVU-Parkersburg to Sell Downtown Center

West Virginia University at Parkersburg is putting its Downtown Center up for sale.

WVU-Parkersburg president Fletcher Lamkin tells the Parkersburg News and Sentinel that the property hasn’t generated enough student interest and program content to sustain it.

The school’s Board of Governors suspended a culinary program offered at the facility earlier this year due to low enrollment and costs.

Lamkin says facility’s annual operating cost is around $100,000. He says the school is working to reduce expenses and no longer can afford the facility.

The university planned to issue a public notice on Tuesday announcing it is looking for offers on the property. A price hasn’t been set.

The Erickson Foundation donated the property to the school in 2008.
