The Monongalia County Commission voted unanimously Wednesday to move forward with the tax-increment financing district plan that would help WVU fund the construction of a new baseball stadium. There will be a public hearing June 27, though the state Legislature must still approve the TIF.

Wednesday’s development after a presentation by the developers, Mon-View LLC, is nevertheless encouraging.

“This is another positive step in the process of getting the TIF in place which will result in a new baseball park,” Oliver Luck said.
