If you own a natural gas-powered car you'll soon have places to fuel up here in north central West Virginia.

IGS Energy CNG Services said it will build and operate a $10 million natural gas fueling corridor in West Virginia starting right away, in Bridgeport.

"This is the first infrastructure option that West Virginians will have to fuel their cars on compressed natural gas. Clearly, there are a lot of advantages to using CNG.

The Bridgeport station should be up and running in about nine months.
