Job announcement for Jefferson County

KEARNEYSVILLE, W.Va. — As many as 150 jobs will be added in Jefferson County with a planned $15 million expansion of the U.S. Coast Guard Operations System Center in Jefferson County.

U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller announced the expansion on Thursday.

He said the Jefferson County Development Authority will lease 40,000 square feet in the Burr Business Park in Kearneysville to the Coast Guard Operations System Center.

That space, which should be ready next fall, will be used to consolidate a number of IT systems and help relieve overcrowding at the current facility.

Officials say the jobs will be added during the consolidation that will happen over the next several years.
