⚖️ Court case · Unincorporated Tucker County

Tucker United, the WV Highlands Conservancy and the Sierra Club appealed the state air permit for Fundamental Data's gas power plant near Davis and Thomas. The Air Quality Board let the permit stand in early 2026. On Aug. 26, 2026 the Intermediate Court of Appeals dismissed the appeals because it said it was the wrong court, not because of the merits. The groups said they would take it to the West Virginia Supreme Court.
