LOCAL INSIGHT
Huntington customers come from West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky
Huntington sits where three states meet on the Ohio River. The Port of Huntington Tri-State stretches across 100 miles of the Ohio, 9 miles of the Big Sandy and 90 miles of the Kanawha, and in 2019 Army Corps data it moved 36.8 million short tons, which made it the busiest inland port in the country by freight volume. Suppliers and buyers on both sides of the state lines use the same stretch of river. Search engines show results by where the searcher stands, so a business here has to be findable from three states.
Health care and Marshall University carry much of the local payroll. A March 2021 list from WorkForce West Virginia ranked Mountain Health Network, Marshall University and the Cabell County Board of Education as Cabell County's three largest employers. In 2023, Marshall Health Network was the fourth largest private employer in West Virginia, and Cabell Huntington Hospital now has 313 beds. Patients, students and visiting families search on the way to appointments, so hours, directions and services need to be correct online.
Downtown is rebuilding around Pullman Square, an open air center built on the old Superblock, with Third Avenue storefronts filling in and planned walkways to link it to Heritage Station and to Marshall. Rankwyre builds websites and manages Google Maps and local listings for shops, practices and trades that want to be found by customers on both sides of the river.
