Local Dedication: Weirton unveiled a new steel West Virginia monument at Brooke-Hancock Veterans Memorial Park, funded through a Local Economic Development Assistance grant and built with Northern Panhandle businesses—each marker weighs about 350 pounds and notes the city’s 1947 incorporation. AI + Power Finance: Nscale secured an additional $790 million in debt financing for its Narvik, Norway AI data center, with plans for a 115MW expansion tied to an extra $790 million option—another sign that AI buildouts are increasingly driven by capital and electricity. West Virginia Courts: Attorneys for Sen. Jim Justice asked a federal judge to pause a Greenbrier Resort dispute, seeking to hold off the federal case while related state litigation plays out. Energy + Schools: Ohio County Schools’ heating, cooling, and lighting upgrades have saved more than $4.5 million over six years, beating guaranteed savings. Election Watch: Tuesday’s GOP primary is shaping up as a fight over who controls the West Virginia Senate, with Supreme Court Division I also drawing five candidates. Cyber Pipeline: WVU Cyber launched a strategic partnership with TWENTY to create internship and hands-on mission work for students focused on offensive cyber and AI-enabled tech.
