BLUEFIELD — In a “monumental day” for the city of Bluefield, Gov. Jim Justice announced Friday that Omnis Building Technologies will be developing a $40 million manufacturing plant at Exit 1, creating 150 to 300 new jobs in the process.

Justice said the company will build the 150,000-square-foot facility at Exit 1 in Bluefield to manufacture housing materials that will revolutionize the future of residential construction.

Omnis Building Technologies is a manufacturer of energy-efficient, pre-engineered, home building systems made up of Concrete Insulated Building Units (CIBU) that are shipped and then assembled on-site to make pre-designed homes. Once delivered, the patented turn-key homes are easily constructed and move-in ready in just a few days, the governor’s office said.
