The Greenbrier Hotel is seen on Sept. 12, 2024, at The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier County.
After a summer of financial uncertainty, the Greenbrier Resort is safe from auction. On Wednesday Gov. Jim Justice looked toward the future. ƵItƵs taken care of, and the Greenbrier will flourish in a lot of different ways now,Ƶ Justice said during his weekly virtual media briefing. ƵBut this has hurt our business and caused a lot of grief, and a lot of sleepless nights because this one came as far out of leftfield as you can possibly get.Ƶ The Greenbrier Resort Ƶ a 60.5-acre property in White Sulphur Springs that Justice says employs about 2,000 people Ƶ had been slated for foreclosure. It is a key asset for the Justice family, whose financial woes have added up amid the governorƵs run for a U.S. Senate seat on the Republican ticket. On Wednesday, the governor maintained his belief that the recent situation involving the potential auction of the Greenbrier was politically motivated. JusticeƵs family said in a news release sent late Tuesday that all debts on the historic Greenbrier Resort have been satisfied with Beltway Capital, which was set to auction the properties on Oct. 25. The news release, sent by a Michigan-based law firm, says the auction has been canceled, and it was confirmed on Wednesday by J. Patrick Jones, substitute trustee who posted the Oct. 10 public notice of auction. ƵThis significant achievement comes as part of the familyƵs ongoing commitment to ensure the long-term stability and prosperity of their holdings, including The Greenbrier Resort, AmericaƵs Premier Resort,Ƶ the news release says, in part.
