School Renovation Project Launched
For Community and Commerce
Williamsburg Community Action Group (WCA) has received a Brownfield Redevelopment Plan from re-use planner Stantec, coordinated through WV Department of Environmental Protection. After receiving the final presentation and report from StanTec at the end of March 2025, WCA took community input on the final report and voted on the path of action for the former school. WCA has voted to renovate
New Roof
For the kitchen and bathrooms
It is a tremendous relief to have a long-term resolution to this major problem. A tremendous thank you to the Seneca Trail Charitable Foundation for their generosity and to the Williamsburg Community Action Group members that wrote grant applications and guided this project.
Next up is replacing the damaged ceiling under the new roof!
The Williamsburg Revitalization and Economic Development Committee
held their first volunteer clean-up day at the former Williamsburg School on July 16, 2022.
