ATTENTION: THE POWHATAN RFP ISSUED ON DECEMBER 20, 2011, HAS BEEN REVISED AND RE-ISSUED ON DECEMBER 22, 2011.   

The City of Ranson, West Virginia (www.cityofransonwv.net) has been in the forefront of encouraging redevelopment of its brownfields sites and is currently accepting proposals to develop a brownfield site into a sustainable and green neighborhood named Powhatan Place. In September, 2011, Ranson was notified that it was awarded a U.S. HUD Brownfields Economic Development Initiative grant and loan package totaling $4.5 million to assist with the redevelopment of the former 119-year old Kidde Brass Foundry.  

Located only one hour from Washington D.C. and Baltimore, about five miles from the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, this Washington D.C.

Ranson is committed to being a leader in green and sustainable new neighborhoods within reach of the greater Washington DC and Baltimore marketplace.
