Big energy player expanding Charleston footprint

A major player in the natural gas development in West Virginia wants to expand its footprint with a new 60,000 square foot building that will serve as its eastern headquarters.

Energy Corporation of America, a privately-held and family-operated oil and natural gas company is headquartered in Denver. The company has about 300 employees and owns more than a million acres in Appalachia.

The company presented its plans to the Charleston Municipal Planning Commission. The Commission reviewed the site application Wednesday at its regular meeting.

The commission approved ECA's plan unanimously, pending approval following an inspection of a sanitary line at the site.

The company announced it will be building a new headquarters site at Charleston's Northgate Business Park Wednesday at a Charleston Municipal Planning Commission meeting. Kyle Mork, chief operating officer for ECA, said the company has reached capacity in its current building.
