"This would be the largest single economic investment in West Virginia in over 50 years," state Commerce Secretary Keith Burdette said, noting he believes the project could call for an investment of as much as $5 billion.
Previous estimates of project cost were capped at $2 billion.
Burdette also mentioned that, in addition to Shell, at least one other company is looking to locate a cracker in West Virginia. He said the interested companies are looking at sites of at least 250 contiguous acres "from Charleston all the way up to Hancock County."
