POWER PLANT GRANTED CONSTRUCTION PERMIT

The Mountain State Clean Energy power plant in Maidsville is going to be able to expand.  The state Department of Environmental Protec granted the permit to build a natural gas power plant on the site.  The construction will cost more than a billion dollars and won’t be in operation until 2024.  At that time there will be 30 more full-time jobs, but during construction the site will employ over 5,000.
