Brooke County, WV will hopefully be home to a gas powered electricity generator in a few years.  The City of Follansbee has approved a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agreement with Energy Solutions Consortium, the company which will build and run the plant.  A PILOT agreement says that the city will own the plant and the company will lease it from the city.  This cuts down on the tax burden for the company, making the plant financially possible.  This is just one step in many yet to come.

The article also talks about the Marshall County plant which is further along in the development process, and says it is expected to come on line in June of 2018.
