CENTRALLY LOCATED FOR
ECONOMIC SUCCESS
Randolph County, centrally located
along Corridor H, is a regional economic
hub for the Potomac Highlands. This ideal
location between I-79 to the west and
I-81 to the east provides for a bustling
economy consisting of a variety of indus-
tries, including manufacturing, tourism
and health care.
Randolph County is home to the largest
pre-finished hardwood flooring plant in
North America, AHF Products. AHF is the
catalyst for a thriving hardwood industry
consisting of log yards, sawmills and sec-
ondary manufacturers. Randolph County
is also the headquarters of Davis Health
System, a leading regional health care
provider for several contiguous counties.
We boast health care services provided by
a variety of top-notch facilities, including
WVU Medicine and Mon Health System.
This allows citizens of our region to receive
world-class health care close to home.
Much of West Virginia’s natural beauty
lies within and close to Randolph County.
As the gateway to a vast array of outdoor
recreational opportunities, natural wonders,
scenic trains and entertainment venues,
Randolph County’s tourism industry has
something for everyone. As the lead eco-
nomic development agency in Randolph County, the Randolph County Development
Authority is able to aggressively pursue
a prosperous and sustainable economy,
due in large part to our proximity to
Corridor H.
Stroll through unique specialty shops
or dine in the amazing array of family-
owned restaurants where you will find
local brews on tap. Step back in time and
discover the history of our Appalachian
culture by visiting our museums, dance
the night away at monthly get-togethers,
or experience Swiss traditions that have
been passed down for generations. Board
excursion trains or hike the many trails
to see crystal-clear streams, mountain
vistas and picturesque landscapes of the
Monongahela National Forest that we are
proud to call home. The road ahead will
lead you through the curvy West Virginia mountains to Randolph County, and
once you experience our culture, you
will under stand why we are authentic
by nature.
