CITY WELCOMES WORLEY AND 170 EMPLOYEES TO CHARLESTON

(Charleston, W. Va.) – Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin this evening welcomed Worley and their 170 employees to downtown Charleston. During its regular meeting, Charleston City Council approved Res. No. 903-23 which provides up to 120 monthly parking spaces in Municipal Parking Building #2 for a duration of 36 months at no cost to Worley which will be relocating to the Capital City.

Worley’s relocation includes 170 total employees, most of which will work in the field of engineering services. Their new offices will be located downtown in Laidley Tower.

“For the past four and a half years, we have made it a top priority to invest in our community—strengthening our infrastructure, encouraging new development, creating a vibrant downtown, and making Charleston a place where businesses want to put down roots,” said Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin. “We are excited to welcome Worley to our Capital City and look forward to working with them in the future.” 

Res. No. 903-23 provides the parking spaces at no cost for 36 months provided the company commits to establishing new operations for a minimum seven-year lease in a downtown facility.  Any parking above 120 spaces and beyond the 36-month period will be paid at the standard parking rates for the building.

“We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the City of Charleston as Worley moves its current office from Elkview,” said Richard Clay, Director of Operations, US East, Worley. “We admire Mayor Amy Goodwin’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment and look forward to the economic impact we will create together in the years to come. Charleston continues to be a great place for Worley employees to live, work and play.”
