PUBLIC NOTICE West Virginia Army National Guard Final Invitation to Comment On Proposed Moorefield Readiness Center In Moorefield, West Virginia The West Virginia Army National Guard (WVARNG) is proposing to construct and operate a new Readiness Center on an undeveloped property adjacent to the Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College in Moorefield, West Virginia. The purpose of the new construction is to replace the existing armory that is inadequate due to size limitations on square footage and military parking. It lacks sufficient area for training, administration, storage, and maintenance necessary for the unit to train effectively. This facility is required to house all elements of Detachment 1 of the 157th Military Police Company of the WVARNG and an “Emergency Operations/911 Call Center” as well. The proposed facility will be a 57,000 square foot building consisting of a masonry type construction, brick and concrete Pictured Dr. Aimee Keplinger , Sidney Bergdoll , block units with concrete floors, and a metal or single membrane roof.
