operations here in the WestRidge business and retail complex.
WestRidge is a mixed-use enterprise running along Interstate 79 from Granville to Westover.
The announcement was made in the midst of nothing but enterprise.
A host of local lawmakers and governmental officials from Charleston gathered at the Courtyard Marriott in University Town Centre — which is right across from Monongalia County Ballpark and a bustling passel of car dealerships, restaurants and big-box stores.
Leidos will consolidate its two Morgantown offices into one location near Morgantown Mall on Lawless Road, site manager Drew Formica said.
Formica — “Just like the countertop,” he said by way of introduction — is a software engineer by training.
After earning degrees from Wheeling Jesuit University and WVU, the Bridgeport native worked for a time at a firm in Pittsburgh before he got an opportunity to come home.
