The Greenbrier Hotel, owned by West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice and his family, could be going up for auction later this month, according to a legal advertisement placed in a Lewisburg newspaper.
The Notice of Trustees Sale
placed in the West Virginia Daily News calls for a public sale on the Greenbrier County Courthouse steps at 2 p.m. on Aug. 27 due to a loan declared to be in default.
The governors family and JPMorgan had been working in good faith under a mutual agreement since 2021 to successfully reduce the debt by $9.4 million, according to a statement from the Justice family.
At the beginning of July, the governor said his family was notified by JPMorgan that their loan, originally for $142 million, had been sold to Beltway Capital who immediately declared the loan to be in default, the statement said.
