West Virginia tourism sights up after chemical spill
Tourism in southern West Virginia eyes a rebound as Gauley River whitewater season opens. The Army Corps of Engineers will release water from Summersville Dam next week, extending the Gauley season to mid October amid lingering spill memory. Industry officials note a slow recovery with some outfitters down modestly but overall visits stabilizing since the Elk River spill.
