About the Company:

LightsON! West Virginia, LLC was established in March 2007 to develop LEED certified commercial properties and promote green building practices in rural West Virginia. The company is currently overseeing the renovation of the Bellann Building in Oak Hill, WV using green building practices. On completion, The Bellann Building will be the first LEED Certified Existing Building in the State of West Virgina.

Role of NCIF:

NCIF helped finance the renovation of the Bellann Building on Main Street in Oak Hill, WV as mixed office and retail space (~10,000 sq. ft.) using green building practices. NCIF's participation enabled the company to leverage additional bank financing for the project.

Impact:

The project is unique as it is the first private sector LEED green building project in West Virginia. LightsON! West Virginia plans to seek LEED certification for the project. The project will also serve as an example of how private and public investment can attract new businesses to West Virginia’s historic downtowns. This project is expected to bring 16 new jobs to the Oak Hill community.
