Letart Land for Sale
LETART COMMERCE PARK | 185± ACRES | LETART, MASON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA
Industrial & Commercial Development Site | Fee Simple with Mineral Rights | For Sale or Ground Lease
RARE OPPORTUNITY IN THE HOTTEST INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR IN THE EASTERN U.S.
Letart Commerce Park is a 185±-acre, industrial and commercial development site positioned at the epicenter of one of the most dynamic economic buildouts in America. This is some of the last level ground remaining in the area that is outside the floodplain. Mason County, West Virginia is experiencing a once-in-a-generation industrial surge with over $5 billion in announced private investment, including the Nucor $4 billion steel mill, the Frontieras North America $850 million advanced coal reformation plant, and the Monarch Compute Campus, the 8GW AI data center campus being developed by NScale and American Intelligence & Power, one of the largest proposed AI data center developments in the United States. Letart Commerce Park sits directly within this corridor, just 12 miles from I-77 and approximately 10 miles from Jackson County Airport along WV Route 62, placing it in immediate proximity to the region’s most significant industrial demand generators.
This is a strategically positioned, infrastructure-rich, development-ready site with the utility capacity to support heavy manufacturing, advanced industrial, logistics, data center, and energy-intensive users.
EXCEPTIONAL POWER INFRASTRUCTURE; THE DEFINING ASSET
In today’s power-constrained development environment, land is no longer scarce; power is. Letart Commerce Park offers an extraordinary on-site power stack that is incredibly unique on a greenfield industrial site:
• 12.47kV distribution line — On-Site
• 69kV transmission line — On-Site
• 765kV high-voltage transmission line — On-Site
• 345kV transmission line — 700 feet from the site boundary
• AEP Mountaineer 1.3 GW Power Plant – 6 miles from site
• Direct connectivity to AEP’s Sporn Substation —6 miles from site
All lines are served by Appalachian Power Company (AEP), a subsidiary of American Electric Power, one of the largest electric utilities in the United States. The presence of 765kV and 345kV infrastructure at this scale, on a single undeveloped industrial parcel, is an asset that typically takes years and tens of millions of dollars to position. It exists here today. For manufacturers, data center developers, battery energy storage operators, or any power-intensive industrial user, this site eliminates the most critical infrastructure bottleneck in the site selection process.

REGIONAL ECONOMIC MOMENTUM — BUYER CONTEXT
Mason County is not a speculative growth market. It is actively under construction. The Nucor steel mill, a $4 billion investment and one of the largest private capital deployments in West Virginia history, is creating 800 permanent jobs and thousands of construction positions. Frontieras North America broke ground in April 2026 on an $850 million advanced coal-to-products facility that will employ 200+ full-time workers and thousands during construction. The Monarch Compute Campus, a proposed 8GW AI data center site operated by NScale and AIP, is one of the largest AI data center development projects in the United States and is located in Mason County. West Virginia’s HB 2014 creates certified private power microgrid districts for data center campuses of 90MW or greater, making the state one of the most favorable regulatory environments in the country for power-intensive industrial development. Mason County sits within a one-day drive of 50% of the U.S. population, with I-77 12 miles away and Jackson County airport 10 miles away. This is a market where industrial land with infrastructure sells, and this site has infrastructure most markets cannot offer.
