100 Fort Martin Rd
Maidsville, WV 26541

Positioned along the Monongahela River in northern Monongalia County, the Maidsville Barge site offers a rare opportunity for industrial, commercial, or energy-related development with direct waterway access. Spanning nearly 60 acres across 10 contiguous parcels, the property features a mix of flat, open land and rolling terrain, allowing for flexible site planning and natural screening. Its strategic location near Fort Martin Road and Lazzelle Union Road ensures seamless connectivity to I-79 and the broader Morgantown region.

The site’s river and rail advantage opens the door for barge operations, making it ideal for logistics and shipping users. Utilities include electric service from Mon Power and water from Pleasant Valley Water System, with natural gas nearby. Though public sewer is not currently available, the property previously operated with private sewage.

Surrounding economic anchors include the WestRidge Development, Mylan Park, and the Gateway commercial corridor, all contributing to a dynamic growth environment. WestRidge alone offers over 1.3 million square feet of retail and corporate space, including a FedEx Ground facility and Menards distribution center. The area’s demographic strength is underscored by a population of over 100,000 within a 10-mile radius and a projected growth rate of 0.4% through 2030.

This site is well-positioned to support a wide range of uses, from industrial and distribution to commercial and mixed-use development, with flexible zoning and ample acreage for infrastructure and expansion.
