Immobile home: WVDOT gives owner time to move structure from side of road

Yahoo11-06-2025
Jun. 10—MORGANTOWN — For the past several weeks, a mobile home has sat unattended alongside the intersection of Grafton Road and Scott Avenue, causing a potential road hazard to motorists traveling along those roads.
However this isn't the first time this house has been a roadside unattractive. Before it wound up in its current location, it had been left for weeks along the Kingwood Pike near the Interstate 68 overpass.
The West Virginia Department of Transportation has been in contact with the owner of the home and has given the owner time to get the home moved from next to the roadway, according to spokesman Brent Walker.
"We are in contact with the owner, and we're working with them trying to give them a little bit more time to make arrangements to move the mobile home, " Walker said. "We are just trying to give him a little bit more time before it'll have to be moved by us."
Walker added several groups have been in contact with the owner of the home to try and get it moved from its current position.
"It takes a special permit " to move it, he said. "We're not able to just get in there and lift it. It's the owner's responsibility, so we're just working with him and letting him know that he has a little bit more time."
Walker added he would like to have the home moved sooner rather than later, but no specific timeframe has been given yet.

GreenPower Provides Business Update and Reports Year-End Fiscal 2025 Results

Webinar Scheduled for August 4, 2025 at 4:15 p.m. EST/1:15 p.m. PST VANCOUVER, BC, July 30, 2025 /CNW/ -- GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (Nasdaq: GP) (TSXV: GPV) ("GreenPower" and the "Company"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles serving the cargo and delivery market, shuttle and transit space and school bus sector, today reported its year-end fiscal year 2025 results. "Fiscal year 2025 was a transformative year for GreenPower as the political winds shifted and federal EV incentives and policies began to change," said GreenPower CEO Fraser Atkinson. "While GreenPower continued to manufacturer and deliver class leading all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission school buses and commercial vehicles, the Company was focused on adapting to these changes by streamlining production and retooling operations to be successful in the space." During the year GreenPower consolidated its California operations from multiple locations in the state to one facility in Riverside. "Consolidating our operations from five different facilities spread throughout California to one larger facility has reduced our costs and increased efficiency," said GreenPower President Brendan Riley. "Having our U.S. corporate headquarters, engineers, project managers, upfitting operations and west coast manufacturing in one location better positions the company for managed growth and success." Manufacturing in the West Virginia facility continued during the fiscal year with the first BEAST Type D school buses rolling off the manufacturing line for in-state orders and a Round 2 EPA Clean School Bus Program (CSBP) grant that was awarded to multiple school districts in the state during fiscal 2025. In the western half of the country, school bus manufacturing and deliveries also continued during the fiscal year under a variety of programs including the CSBP. Type D BEASTs and Type A Nano BEASTs from GreenPower's California facilities were delivered through its dealers to schools in Arizona, California and Oregon. "As the only all-electric, purpose-built school bus OEM manufacturing both a Type A and a Type D school bus in facilities on both sides of the country, GreenPower is perfectly positioned to meet the market demand nationwide," Atkinson continued. "GreenPower innovation remained at the forefront of activities in fiscal year 2025, as two new Class 4 all-electric, purpose-built, zero-emission commercial vehicles were introduced into the marketplace," Riley stated. The first new vehicle was the EV Star Utility Truck which is built for day-to-day demands and workloads and is equipped with optional power sources, providing accessible power through built-in plugs to accommodate tool charging conveniently on a job site. The front box of the vehicle has optional full pass-through capacity, allowing for oversize tools and supplies. The EV Star Utility Truck offers tailored contractor body configurations, coming in a standard bed size of 16 feet, with the option to customize the length to meet the customer's needs, allowing for more room and applications. The second new vehicle unveiled during the fiscal year was the EV Star REEFERX, a new modern offering, all-electric refrigerated medium-duty delivery truck. Built on GreenPower's EV Star Cab & Chassis platform, the EV Star REEFERX is purpose-built and fully customizable with a lighter body to allow for increased payload. Designed to serve mid to last-mile refrigerated delivery and catering applications, the EV Star REEFERX moves goods that need to be temperature controlled, such as fresh and frozen foods, flowers and pharmaceuticals, among other applications. The vehicle body features a one interior wall structure to allow for seamless sanitation, consistent insulation throughout and a longer life. 2025 Year-End Highlights: Generated revenues of $19.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2025. GreenPower delivered a total of 84 vehicles, which were comprised of 34 BEAST Type D school buses, two Nano BEAST Type A school buses, 23 EV Star Cargo and EV Star Cargo Plus commercial vehicles and 25 EV Star Passenger Vans. GreenPower had working capital of $8.1 million at year-end. At the end of the year GreenPower had inventory of $25.6 million, consisting of $10.1 million of finished goods, $11.3 million of work-in-process and $4.2 million of parts and components. The Company had Deferred revenue of $10.1 million at year-end.

Proposed Ghent truck stop a no-go as courts back county commission decision

GHENT, WV (WVNS) – Local courts chose to concur with the decision of county leadership regarding a proposed truck stop location at the Ghent exit on I-77. Several public meetings were held to discuss the proposed project earlier in the year. Commission members said the community was largely opposed to the addition. Raleigh County Commission President, Greg Duckworth told 59News public outcry played a large role in the decision. DUI checkpoint to be held in Raleigh County 'Public input should weigh very heavy on rezoning, responsible development, and those kinds of things,' said Commissioner Duckworth. 'In this case the outcry, it wasn't even close. It was so lopsided the community just didn't want the truck stop there.' Raleigh County Attorney, Bill Roop said Go-Mart would still have the option to use the property commercially. Raleigh County Circuit Courts backed the commission's decision that the truck stop project is not viable under commercial use.'They did say that the property could be used as a commercial use such as a gas station or a convenient store,' said Roop. 'The problem was just the overnight parking of the tractor trailers.' Circuit courts have indicated the commission acted within its legal authority to block the project, though Roop told 59News that Go-Mart still has the opportunity to appeal the decision through the West Virginia Supreme Court should they choose to do so. Commission members have stated they will continue to support the planning and zoning process as a fair and structured method for consideration of land use and development.
