Picture this: pristine baseball diamonds and soccer pitches, alongside an innovative all-season sledding hill that guarantees year-round thrills. But that’s just the beginning.

On Thursday, the Upshur County Commission unveiled a detailed concept rendering of the John C. Allen Regional Hub, a sprawling recreational complex the county hopes to build along Corridor H, west of Buckhannon. The hub – which could cost up to an estimated $50 million to construct – would feature everything from full-size athletic fields to condo-style lodging.
