Greenbrier to reopen as flood recovery continues
The Greenbrier owner Jim Justice announced the resort will reopen July 12, five days from the press conference on the public lawn. He spoke of restoring jobs for about 300 of nearly 2,000 workers as Greenbrier County rebuilds after the June flood and thousand-year flood event. The resort, site of the Greenbrier Classic, had closed June 25 due to safety concerns and power outages but has housed over 700 flood victims since.
