In October , Wyoming County opened its first four-lane highway , the Coalfields Expressway , which has increased traffic flow . This year , it is marketing the new Barkers Creek Industrial Park near the expressway to provide opportunities for businesses with 11 acres and room for buildings from 2,800 to 50,000 square feet .
Meanwhile , a new kayaking business , as well as the Hatfield McCoy Trails , are attracting tourists that fill the new restaurants and lodging .
West Virginia certainly fits the bill for what travelers will be searching for in the immediate future , according to Strader .
“ We have small towns , small crowds , a lot of outdoor opportunities and incredible lodging and dining options . Add in the recent designation of the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve , and we feel our future is bright in the tourism industry ,” she says . “ We are optimistic that along with this designation , we will see expansion in parking areas and infrastructure in high-trafficked areas and that an eventual increase in visitation will equal an increase in opportunities for our current and future businesses .” •
