PARKERSBURG The Towne Square building will be put up for sale and the Wood County Commission was one of the first groups offered the chance to buy it.
Wood County Commissioners Blair Couch and Bob Tebay took a phone call from owner Bob Margolis to discuss the matter. Commissioner Jimmy Colombo was absent from Thursday’s meeting.
Margolis said they were on the verge of possibly putting the building up for sale.
“We wanted to talk to you guys first,” he said. “We have had discussions over the years about the building.”
County officials said the last time they discussed anything about the building was six to eight years ago.

PARKERSBURG The Wood County Commission will be sending a letter of support to the West Virginia Legislature for the local Oil, Gas and Industrial Historical Association Inc. to help them secure funds for needed expenses.
The association is requesting $200,000 to pay the $150,000 balance due on a loan used to purchase Henderson Hall and a $50,000 loan that was used to develop exhibits and upgrade the Oil and Gas Museum in downtown Parkersburg. The group also operates Burning Springs Park.
“This appropriation would free $25,000 per year that will be used to grow these sites and their economic value to the region,” the association said in a written request.
