Three years ago, a group of residents in West Virginias northern panhandle formed a new group, the Ohio Valley Jobs Alliance, and declared themselves a voice for local jobs.
A few months later, however, the groups first major action was aimed not at creating jobs, but at blocking them.
In November 2015, the alliance, known as the OVJA, filed a legal appeal to challenge a key permit for construction of the Moundsville Power project, a natural gas-fired plant in Marshall County.
The move was puzzling. Backers of Moundsville Power said the project would be a significant boost for the area, providing 500 jobs annually during a three-year construction period and 30 permanent jobs once it was operational. Supporters said the project was a way for residents to capture more economic gains from West Virginias booming natural gas industry.
