Justice said. \u201cA few years ago, no one would\u2019ve dreamed West Virginia would be featured in top travel guides or become a top tourist destination. Now, people from all over the world are coming to experience Almost Heaven. We needed to update our travel plazas to match the excitement and energy of our visitors, and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ve done. This isn\u2019t just a pit stop; it\u2019s our opportunity to show off the beauty and spirit of West Virginia. This plaza represents everything that\u2019s happening in our state\u2014growth, opportunity, and pride.
