Forney told Morgan County USA that he plans on renovating the building and moving his insurance business \u2013 RWR WV Insurance \u2013 to the location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forney recently purchased the Star Theater and renovated it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe guts of the old Sheetz building are solid \u2013 brick on steel,\u201d Forney said. \u201cI assumed since it was the prime commercial real estate location in town that somebody would have jumped on it right away. It has a great parking lot. It\u2019s out of the flood plain. It has a lot going for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forney said that the old Sheetz building is about 2,800 square feet. He intends to take 1,600 square feet for his business and lease out the other 1,200 square to a tenant \u2013 \u201cideally someone who fits well with an insurance agency \u2013 a financial services company or something along those lines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forney currently has four employees, but he hopes to grow his business to 20 to 30 employees. He\u2019s looking to hire a few more employees over the next couple of months. And he\u2019s outgrowing his current location \u2013 next to Skeeter\u2019s Auto Body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forney\u2019s insurance business is primarily commercial insurance \u2013 loss control, safety, OSHA compliance, DOT compliance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
RWR WV is the West Virginia affiliate of Reed, Wertz and Roadman Insurance in Bedford, Pennsylania \u2013 that\u2019s where Forney started in the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
