The Wharf District Revitalization
|
The Wharf District has become one of the best portals to the Caperton Trail. What was once an old warehouse district, is now a revitalized growing commercial and residential center. Located next to the Monongahela River an the Caperton Trail, the Wharf District area is growing rapidly. Public and private investments have combined to include street and trail improvements, restaurants, retail, professional services offices, and high-end loft apartments.

New Office Buildings

Another new office building recently completed is home to law offices,
realtors, and still others to come. Constructed within the historic district, the design and color of the building match with other older buildings in the district. |
The WVU Administration Building

One minute to the south is the recently built WVU Administration Building. The building towers above the Monongahela Riverfront. The seven story administration building is a great addition to the adjacent Historic Wharf District and the Caperton Trail.

With the help of a Federal Transportation Enhancement grant, the City of Morgantown is improving
Clay Street in the Wharf District. Because of the historical district and that
Clay Street was a cobblestone street for more than one hundred years, the City
of Morgantown wanted to capture the history of the street in the new streetscape.
