The West Virginia Economic Development Authority (WVEDA) approved a new loan during its December 2011 meeting:
- M-Rock, $359,610, for the expansion of an existing building and the acquisition and installation of equipment. The Monroe County business manufactures shaped and colored cement and stone veneer products. The expansion will allow M-Rock to manufacture its recently-introduced Mortarless Stone Innovations (MSI), a stone veneer product that installs with screws instead of mortar. M-Rock currently has 43 employees and expects to increase that number to as many as 95 after three years.
- Architectural Wood, $366,750 aggregate, for site and equipment acquisition related to start-up. Based in Ronceverte in Greenbrier County, the company was established in 2011. It manufactures and installs high-grade architectural woodwork, casework and custom furnishings.
