Why It Matters in Martinsburg

Planning for growth in Martinsburg

Martinsburg grew up around the railroad. The Baltimore and Ohio reached town in 1842 and built its shops here in 1848, and I-81 now carries freight past the city’s northern side. Private employers include FedEx, Quad/Graphics, Ecolab and Macy’s, alongside federal sites like the IRS computing center and the VA Medical Center. The Mountain State Apple Harvest Festival is held in town each October.

Busy corridors bring opportunity and uneven cash flow. A contractor waiting on a large payment or a shop gearing up for the fall rush needs to know what the bank balance will look like in 60 days. Scott builds that forecast and keeps it current every month.
