The Tygart Hotel is Woodlands Development Group ’ s largest and most ambitious project to date . Accustomed to developing housing projects and other community facilities , Woodlands took on the hotel development at the request of the local community . The goal of the project was to preserve the unique character of the Tygart , weave the redevelopment into the history of the region , and provide support for additional community and housing development .
Woodlands hopes that absorbing some of the risk of a commercial development of this size provides opportunities for growth and expansion to other property and business owners in the area . The project provided over 100 temporary and 57 permanent jobs .
