Corrections! This is about Mountaineer Mall, not Morgantown Mall and the approval was by the Morgantown Planning Commission, not the County Commission.
I should read more carefully!
Sorry!

Good news: Article (copied below) on front page of today’s Dominion Post says, County Commission unanimously approved site development for Book Exchange at former Elder Beerman location in Morgantown Mall, "with the condition that parking include a minimum number of long-term and short-term bicycle storage areas”.
How’d that happen? Harry?:)

Commission approves site d e ve l o p m e n t BY BEN CONLEY The Dominion Post A 19,000 square-foot development in the space formerly occupied by Elder-Beerman in the old Mountaineer Mall received site plan approval from the Morgantown Planning Commission on Thursday. Book Exchange Holdings Inc. owner Jonathan Fleming requested the significant impact site plan review. He said that the space will be used to support the online retail portion of Book Exchang e’s business. “We started this side of our business about five years ago and we’ve been selling things online more and more,” F leming said. “We started with 6,000 feet. We went up to 11,000 [feet] and this year we need to go up to 19,000 [feet]. This is really the only space in Morgantown we could find that kind of fit the bill.” The request was unanimously approved with the condition that parking include a minimum number of longterm and short-term bicycle storage areas.
