The Greenbrier resort announced Thursday that it will reopen to guests on Tuesday, July 12, after being forced to close for more than two weeks because of flooding that damaged parts of the historic resort.
“We had some major damage in different parts of the hotel, and it’s taken a lot of work to get The Greenbrier back to the standard that our guests expect,” Jim Justice, the hotel’s owner and CEO, said in a statement. The resort said that it suffered tens of millions of dollars worth of damage, although a final estimate is still being tallied.
As a result of the June 23 torrential rains and flooding, which left 15 people dead in Greenbrier County and 23 across the state, the resort canceled a major event, The Greenbrier Classic, an annual PGA golf tournament that had been scheduled for July 7-10 on its Old White TPC course.
