American Electric Power is planning to expand its facility in Lakin, West Virginia, that houses the utility's river operations unit responsible for moving coal along the Ohio River and its tributaries for delivery to the utility's power plants. The utility said October 18 that it is acquiring land adjacent to the Lakin facility, and the company is working with architects to design a new facility next to the existing one. Construction is expected to begin and be completed in 2008.
