St. Albans: we’ re worth your investment
Sound investments are possible when opportunity, location and market meet.
Bordered to the north and west by the confluence of the Kanawha and Coal Rivers, St. Albans is central to river enthusiasts. The Port of St. Albans at Roadside Park on U. S. Route 60 along the Kanawha River is equipped with a boat ramp, ample parking and free RV camping. In June, the park is home to Riverfest, an annual four-day festival that celebrates the boating community. In December, the park is a favorite resting spot for viewers of the annual Lighted Boat Parade.
From the Forks of Coal at Alum Creek, Coal River winds 18 miles past a state-of-the-art science and education center, two beautiful falls, sandy beaches and shady fishing spots on its gentle, downstream path toward St. Albans. During the past decade, the city’ s adjacent Coal River community of Tornado has attracted thousands of tourists to two popular attractions: Meadowood, a 90-acre park with two public boat launch sites, 8-acre fishing lake and a full-service canoe and kayak rental facility, and Big Bend, a champion, eighteen-hole, Par 71 golf course.
St. Abans also celebrates its vibrant arts community. Alban Arts Center, located in the city’ s downtown historic district and minutes away from the state capitol, is a community theatre production company and home to the

Alban Arts Academy, a biannual, twelve-week arts education program. The Alban hosts the annual Arti Gras celebration and many other events that showcase the talents of local artists.
With roots to George Washington and sites ranging from archaeological digs to elaborate homes, St. Albans has a rich and varied culture and history. The St. Albans Historical Society’ s commitment to archiving photographs, articles and artifacts is invaluable. The Society hosts programs to educate the public on the city’ s downtown historic district and its twelve properties on the National Register of Historic Places. Activities include walking and shuttled tours, hosting monthly open-house and public meeting events at its museum and organizing two history-themed annual events: Founders Day and The Morgan’ s Kitchen Fall Festival.
In the past five years, St. Albans logged nearly 3,200 permits totaling more than $ 21 million in residential and commercial development projects. Key to investors’ decisions to either move to or stay in St. Albans rested largely on the city’ s quality of life and superior public services: Professionally-paid fire department; fully-staffed, well-equipped police and public works departments, seven parks which host many free, seasonal recreational events, and a multiple-award-winning municipal water utility.
