WATERFORD — The recent sale of the former American Electric Power Muskingum River Plant will hopefully bring jobs back to that side of the county. The 165-acre site was purchased for $1.2 million Friday by the Southeastern Ohio Port Authority and the Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad. Jesse Roush, port authority executive director, said the site which previously belonged to Commercial Liability Partners has been fully demolished, remediated and prepped for redevelopment. It was discussed at the Jan. 7 meeting of the Washington County Board of Commissioners the possibility of them co-signing as a third entity, but that wasn’t needed, Roush said.
