The Community Food Innovation Center at Mylan Park has opened, providing the public and businesses with access to a full kitchen facility.
According to Monongalia County Commissioner Sean Sikora, the facility will have many uses, including opportunities for economic development.
“We have entrepreneurs out there that wanted to try their hand at starting a restaurant or something, but wanted to develop their products and this is a facility available to them,” he said.
