In Fairmont all buildings are named after either Byrd, or this Schmuck... poor folks down there don't have a chance.

I live right here in Fairmont and have been doing much investigative research (although I didn't know these other groups were doing the same). I can answer any questions that may arise.

I can confirm that we do indeed have the $25,000,000 High-Level / Mollohan Bridge (technically named after the Congressman's father who served in Congress in the 1950's), and there is the ($14,000,000+) Alan Mollohan Innovation Center office buildings, and on and on.

Interestingly, the High-Level Bridge was completed during the term of Republican Governor Cecil Underwood, and I don't believe it was his idea to later rename it.

Also of interest is the fact that the building named for former Republican Governor Arch Moore has been renamed to a neutral State Office Building -kind of name.

So namings are reversible and changeable...
