Grant looks to transform former Logan department store

In downtown Logan, a former department store is getting a new lease on life with a $2.5 million grant from Governor Patrick Morrisey. This initiative aims to convert the old Peebles Department Store into an economic and cultural hub for the West Virginia Freedom Festival. The project is part of broader efforts to revitalize the area and promote local economic development. This transformation could set a precedent for other historic buildings finding new purposes, contributing to the community’s revitalization and cultural enrichment.
