Capito Marks Opening of 

Schoolhouse Hotel Ahead of 6th 

Anniversary of 2016 Floods

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. – Today, U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) participated in the grand opening of The Schoolhouse Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, nearly six years to the day of the 2016 floods in West Virginia.

 “The redevelopment of the old high school into the new, beautiful Schoolhouse Hotel symbolizes the revitalization of a community that was devastated by floods six years ago,” Senator Capito said. “I’m just so proud of the hard work and collaboration of Charlie Hammerman, Nanci Freiman, Genny Freiman, Mayor Bowling, former Mayor Haynes, and so many others who helped make this a reality. The Schoolhouse Hotel will attract events and visitors from all over the world, enable guests with disabilities to fully enjoy its amenities, and become a source of pride for Greenbrier County for years to come.”

 “Since our arrival three years ago, Senator Capito has been a staunch supporter of the Disability Opportunity Fund’s efforts to reignite economic development in White Sulphur Springs. We are truly honored that she led today’s Grand Opening of The Schoolhouse Hotel,” Charlie Hammerman, President and CEO, DOF, said.
