PARKERSBURG \u2014 The community came out Tuesday to see the possibilities of what the new Wood County Resiliency Center could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 130 people attended the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony held at the building in downtown Parkersburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The center was a four-year project that cost over $13 million from money supplied to the community through the American Recovery Act, Wood County Commission President Blair Couch said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey gave us a lot of money to do good,\u201d he said. \u201cWe really considered the pandemic and what it meant to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, with social distancing measures in place, the county could not conduct criminal trials which Couch commented \u201cjustice delayed is justice unserved.\u201d That was one of the reasons the center was constructed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope everyone gets a good look at what is inside this building,\u201d Couch said. \u201cWe spent a year planning this building with a year\u2019s worth of meetings, very public, to make sure this building could do a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People got to view the large meeting\/ball room, the three smaller breakout meeting rooms, the kitchen, the holding cells for trials, the room that will house the backup 911 center, the garage area where the county maintenance department will be and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architect Adam Krason of ZMM Architects & Engineers of Charleston, who led the design work and oversaw the construction of the building, talked about the process that went into designing the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Wood County Resiliency Center presented some unique problems to solve,\u201d Krason said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were issues related to the foundation of the former jail facility that had to be dealt with, limited space for construction equipment and developing a look with the various aesthetics around the downtown area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Photo by Brett Dunlap)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe biggest challenge we were asked to address was to provide an extremely high level of flexibility,\u201d Krason said. \u201cThe goal was to design a building that functions daily as a facility that can serve the citizens of Wood County by providing much needed meeting space while also being able to respond to future adverse events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring the pandemic public buildings were repurposed throughout West Virginia for testing and emergency health care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2010-2020, West Virginia experienced 11 extreme weather events that cost the state over $2 billion in damages from flooding, storm damage and industrial fires, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPublic buildings that can be used for emergency shelters, food\/cleaning supply distribution as well as testing and emergency health care are a critical need for our communities,\u201d Krason said. \u201cPublic buildings are infrastructure too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Virginia Attorney General J.B. McCuskey, who is the former State Auditor, traveled around the state and explained to communities how the federal money could be used when the federal money was first made available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe could not allow this money to be spent on things that were fleeting,\u201d McCuskey said, who attended Tuesday\u2019s event. \u201cWe begged and pleaded with local governments to make this money turn into actual infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He talked about making West Virginia attractive to young families who want to live somewhere with West Virginia\u2019s values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat starts and ends with us rebuilding our communities,\u201d McCuskey said. \u201cThat is to make them to look and shine like people expect them to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese are the type of projects that enable us to sell West Virginia and our values to the rest of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parkersburg Mayor Tom Joyce commended the building and its potential to bring people downtown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a beautiful building and very nice,\u201d he said. \u201cI am supportive of anything that is going to bring folks into downtown to the hotels and restaurants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betty Camp, of Parkersburg, said she was very impressed with the building overall in how it was planned out and built, but she feels it is not what the people of the county expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think people were expecting an event center,\u201d she said. \u201cSomeone is going to have to pay for all of this and keep all of this up. That sounds like county taxes to me. No one is bankrolling this for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wants to see more about how it will be maintained, that cost and what it will be used for. There was talk of it being able to shelter people in emergencies. Camp pointed to the last bout of cold weather and said people were not at the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think there needs to be a lot of clarification about this place,\u201d she said. \u201cClarity is just lacking in this whole thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am sure it will be used for some good purposes, I don\u2019t think it was clear to the people what this was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greater Parkersburg-Wood County Convention and Visitors Bureau President and CEO Mark Lewis said the center will allow them to get into different markets in being able to promote the area, markets that they previously didn\u2019t have the capacity to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis adds an extra dimension to the size of conferences and meetings that we can host here in Parkersburg,\u201d he said. \u201cI am excited about it. It is a beautiful facility and I am looking forward to getting some of those groups that we have not been able to bring in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been groups that have requested proposals from different areas listing what they have available to be considered for an event. In the past, they did not have the space locally and Lewis has had to put those aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, I think we can start sending in proposals and start bringing in some of those groups,\u201d he said. \u201cI am hoping we can get some of those larger conferences and events that we haven\u2019t had the capacity for in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People gathered in the main meeting\/ball room for the opening ceremony and ribbon cutting and got to sample offerings from the center\u2019s preferred caterers list, including The Blennerhassett Hotel, Valley Catering, Stomp-N-Grounds Coffees and Grand Pointe Conference Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resiliency Center Director Sydney Weber said the event Tuesday was a good example of the community coming together to support the center with the turnout of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was about finally cutting that ribbon, opening up the facility and being ready to work together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
