We were so excited when we found out New Martinsville was not only featured, but on the cover of the new WV?LIVING?Magazine. Our little county seat was named the best small town in the northern panhandle region.

Of course, most of us already knew we lived in a great area-whether in New Martinsville or in other parts of the county. It’s just always nice to hear someone else recognize it.

We have so many things going for us-more than most residents probably realize because, well, you know, the grass always looks greener on the other side. But the truth is, the grass is pretty green right here, the sky is fairly blue, our opportunities are numerous, and our community is great in so many ways. Go ahead, give yourself a pat on the back!
