WHY BUILD IN JEFFERSON COUNTY?
- West Virginia’s regulatory environment promotes strong business development opportunities.
- Jefferson County is in close proximity to a large percentage of the country’s population, who may need access to water.
- Mountain Pure’s location in Kearneysville, WV, near Interstate 81, strategically locates this resource near the bulk of the U.S. population which provides for easy access and transport of critical water resources.
- The proposed site will be located at 1 Grace Street in Kearneysville, West Virginia. The primary access to the site comes from WV Route 51 to Leetown Road and onto Grace Street.
- The site is well situated, squarely at the intersection of the Northeast, the South and the Midwest, reaching nearly 60 million Americans within 200 miles and roughly 100 million Americans within 300 miles.
SITE HISTORY
The site was originally occupied in the 1980’s by Berkeley Woolen Company and used for textile manufacturing before it was acquired by The 3M Company. 3M converted it into a photographic equipment and supply facility. After the change of ownership in 1996 and 2004, the facility continued to be used for printing plate manufacturing until 2006. Since 2006 the facility has been vacant, but the ownership changed again in 2015 when Commercial Liabilities Partners WV, LLC purchased the site from Kodak and in 2019 when Shenandoah Extraction and Processing, LLC acquired the property. Finally in 2021, Sidewinder Enterprises, LLC purchased the site from Shenandoah Extraction and Processing, LLC, as the concept for Mountain Pure was born.

Mountain Pure is committed to being a good corporate neighbor in Jefferson County through the development and lifetime of the project. To date, Mountain Pure has been proud to support the following organizations with philanthropic donations and looks forward to partnering with a multitude of organizations.
