Bend Area Development News Tipped
An unofficial report hints at a Graham Station West Virginia development near New Haven and Point Pleasant, including a potential $40 million power plant. Ohio Power Co officials remain silent while land acquisitions and coal mining interests surface as possible project drivers. Nearby real estate activity and vacant homes along the ferry road reflect rising expectations ahead of any announced plant plans. A separate note records Ira Wharton's fatal auto collision near Shreven.
