Civic center in the works

MARTINSBURG - </bSix years ago, the Rev. Kevin Green had a vision that helped give birth to The Living Room, which has since become one of the area's more popular churches. At that time, Green sold an airstrip he owned in Hedgesville to get the church started. Although its current location, the former Heilig-Meyers furniture store in the Berkeley Plaza Shopping Center, has been significantly improved during the past several years, Green and church members had even bigger plans for the future. Green, a northern Maine native who's been here for 24 years, serves as a pastor of the church along with his wife Beth. He said the church, an affiliate of the Wave Network based in Virginia Beach, Va., has approximately 1,200 active participants. "The vision is everything. And even the progression we're experiencing today is because people are catching the vision. I think that is especially true in this case because the vision includes them as well as their community and city. That's what we're here for," Green said. Those plans include developing a new 49,087-square-foot civic center, a 25,447-square-foot Student Life Center and eight campus housing buildings on approximately 24.6 acres of land located north of Tavern Road on Rock Cliff Drive near Interstate 81. And the plans moved one step closer to becoming reality at Monday night's Berkeley County Planning Commission meeting. That's when planning commissioners unanimously approved the project's sketch plat following a public hearing, said Planning Department Director Stefanie Allemong. Prior to that action, staff members also recommended that the sketch plan be advanced to the preliminary plan stage, she said. It will now be up to the church to submit additional information for review in the county permitting process, Allemong said. A public meeting will be held prior to the project's receiving final authorization. After reviewing the current plans, Allemong said she was impressed with what she'd seen and where the new facility is set to be located. "It is a good location for many reasons, one of which is that it does have frontage along I-81," Allemong said, adding that there is not currently a large facility of this type available locally. Green agrees that the new campus and center will be good for the area, which is important to him and others associated with the church. Green explained that the new center will be accessible to civic, educational and nonprofit groups and activities.
