WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. – West Virginia governor Jim Justice visited Texans training camp Friday. Justice, who owns more than 50 businesses, bought The Greenbrier in 2009 and saved it from bankruptcy.
Justice, born in Charleston, W.Va., played golf at Marshall and is a New Orleans Saints fan. When Saints coach Sean Payton approached Justice about moving training camp to The Greenbrier, Justice built them a $30 million facility.
When Saints owner Tom Benson elected to not return after three years, the Texans jumped at the chance to relocate their camp from Houston to take advantage of the cooler weather.
