This secret bunker is beneficial for WV because it draws more attention to our state. Eventually the government figured out because people probably looked suspicious. Some clues could have been that The Greenbrier is very distinct so it could be kind of obvious. No, I have never been to the bunker. The president would be in the safest place and then the justices. The secret could have been kept for 32 years because no one would think to look in WV.

Wv benefited from housing this secret bunker because they helped the country, which made them important. The people in charge of making the bunker would've wanted to protect West Virginia. The bunker was finally revealed to everyone when the press found out. It was suspicious and the press finally realized that something was up. Some of the clues that the secret bunker existed were the "Tv People" coming in. They were actually working on the bunker. I've never been to the bunker but I have family members who have been. The president, the Supreme Court Justices, and the other important people would've hid in the lowest an safest place. This was kept a secret for 32 years because it was in a place that nobody would expect. Wv was selected to have the bunker because it was where nobody would look.

How the secret bunker was beneficial to WV is because I'm made WV look more intriguing and exciting. One reason that they were discovered was because some of the television repair men looked pretty suspicious. Another reason is because many people took photos and they also saw suspicious looking black helicopters fly bye. Me personally have never been to a bunker, but I would like too though. The president might hide in another top secret bunker because it will not be as safe sense everyone knows about it. The Supreme Court would maybe hide with the president or maybe in a different bunker. I think how it stayed hidden maybe because the government had probably had the bunker built there ant then they built the hotel on top of it and they didn't want to say anything to get people curious, but of course that didn't stop people from finding out now didn't it. WV was probably chosen because it is remote and no one would ever think of it.
The secret bunker was beneficial to WV because it brought attention that the government would build a bunker in Greenbrier county. The press probably got suspicious with the "TV Repair" men always going in and not coming out for hours or days at a time. As I said the "repair men" and other suspicious people. I have never been to a bunker but it would be cool and a bit creepy to go to one. The president would have most likely had a super protective room, same with the Supreme Court Justices. The government chose a place where nobody would ever suspect a secret bunker to be, under a hotel that not even the owners knew was there. The government put the bunker under WV because it is one of our smaller states and not many visitor attracting places. The government was quite smart for putting it under WV soil.

The secret bunker is beneficial to WV because it brings attention to our state and towards the Greenbrier. The Greenbrier finally revealed that the government had a secret bunker underneath of there. Some clues couldve been that the TV people that went there actually were going to the bunker. Another couldve been that is very distinct. No i have never been inside of a bunker. The president would be hiding in the safest place, and then the justices. The secret bunker couldve been kept a secret for 32 years because the government didnt want people to know where they were at so random people could just come in.
After its exposure in 1992 by The Washington Post (italicized), the Greenbrier Bunker (referred to as "Project Greek Island" by the government) benefited West Virginia in that it brought attention in the form of press coverage as well as commerce in the form of tourism. Today, the tours of the bunker in particular bring in numerous tourists and thus significant amounts of money, improving the West Virginia economy. The bunker was kept a secret for over 32 years, as only a select few people were told of its existence and sworn to secrecy, though the most noticeable and suspicious clue was that of the hotel audiovisual employees charged with repairing and sustaining the Greenbrier Hotel's televisions. In reality, they were people tasked with maintaining the bunker, hidden under the guise of repairmen operating under a dummy company named Forsythe Associates. When the location of the bunker was originally brought into question, West Virginia was most likely chosen because of its simultaneous nearness to the capitol building and its not incredibly high (but still not too low) population. Neither the president nor the Supreme Court Justices would've been hidden in the bunker, as its purpose was solely to house the members of Congress in the event of a nuclear attack on the Capitol. I've never been to the bunker myself, though I would like to visit.

It is more benefit because it draws attention to our state. It was very suspicious and the press found out because something fishy was going on. One clue was the tv cast people coming in. No I ha e never ever been to the secret bunker. The president would probably hide in another bunker because that one is well known about. It was probably hidden for so long because wv isn't a place they would think to look. It was selected because it was the best place where no one would look.
A benefit to a secret bunker is to hide people are things when in an emergency. It was found out by suspicious people in the building. I haven't been to a bunker. Important people would hide here incase of an attack. This was a secret by careful planning and actions. WV chose this bunker for its ability to hide in plane sight.
The secret bunker under the Greenbrier Resort in Lewisburg WV was beneficial to WV because of the investment and work done by the US Government along with all the people that were employed in the construction and maintenance of the facility.
The site was chosen because it is in the mountains, near a small town and is not that far from Washington DC, so that in the event of a Nuclear Catastrophe, Members of the Legislative Branch of government, could be evacuated quickly away from danger and allow them to remain safe and in control of the nation.
When I was a baby, my parents took me to the Greenbrier Resort, but we did not tour the bunker.

This secret bunker in WV drew much more attention to the state. this attention was obviously positive due to the bunker. The press found out from being suspicious about all of the repairmen. Although, these men were helping the bunker. No, I have not been to the bunker. The president nor the Supreme Court Justices would not have hid in the bunker. This bunker was to house the Congress. It was a secret for this long because not many people knew about it and the few that did were sworn to secrecy. WV was such a good place due to its position so close the capitol and it could easily hide the bunker.
Aaron Kovack 4th-5th
The secret bunker created in West Virginia was beneficial because it draws positive attention to the state. The press found out about the bunker due to multiple suspicions of the men working as tv repairmen. Secretly, the men were in charge of maintaining the bunker. These suspicions were a big clue that would soon reveal the bunker. I have never been to this bunker. The true purpose of the bunker was to protect the members of Congress. Neither the president ,nor the Supreme Court Justices would've hidden there. The secret was securely kept because the ones who knew of the tunnel were sworn to secrecy. WV was the best option for this bunker's location because it was easily accessible from Washington D.C.

The secret bunker was benifical to wv because it draws attention to our state and its government. Eventually people found out about the bunker due to the press. The press found out because of the suspicious repair men running around all the time. I have never been to the secret bunker. The president would go first in emergencies then the supreme justices. Wv is a good state for the bunker because of its all mountains. Some people wouldn't even know our state could have a bunker

The secret bunker was very beneficial to West Virginia because it was something that got us some attention. The secret bunker probably would not have been found if it weren't for the press. No, I have never been to the secret bunker I have no interest in doing so in the future. The press probably found out because of the suspicious repair men.
The Greenbrier's secret bunker was beneficial to West Virginia because it was a huge boost to the tourism industry and our economy. Employees at the Greenbrier began to suspect tv repairmen, eventually leading to the press's discovery of it. I have never been to the bunker. The president would not be kept in the bunker because it was built to house Congress members. This was kept a secret for thirty two years because West Virginia is often overlooked as a whole, and anyone with knowledge of the project was sworn to secrecy. WV was most likely chosen for this project because of its relative closeness to the capitol and its average population.

This bunker was a benefit to West Virginia because it added more importance to West Virginia.Eventually the press found out because many people talked about it and had suspicions about what was happening under the Greenbrier. Some of the clues were that people who worked in The Greenbrier thought it was strange how TV repair men always showed up. I have never been to the bunker. The president would have hidden in the safest place in the bunker and the justices probably in the next safest place. The secret was kept for 32 years because no one would have thought to look in West Virginia.

West Virginia was picked for this because no one would think to look for something that is so important in our state.
Alisha Hayhurst 6/7th
It's a benefit for West Virginia to house the secret bunker because it attracts tourism. The press found about the bunker because people were becoming suspicious because of frequent visits from "tv repairmen". The so-called tv repairmen were really just people maintaining the bunker and making sure all of the food and pharmaceuticals were up to date. I have never been to the bunker, but it sounds really cool. Neither the President or the Supreme Court would hide in the bunker because the bunker was only meant to hide Congress. It was kept a secret for 32 years because few people actually knew about it. West Virginia was probably selected as the location as the bunker because it is close to Washington D.C. and it doesn't have a high population.

I think that this secret bunker benefits West Virginia because of its tourist attraction. My dad actually took a tour of the bunker. We were spending the night at the Greenbrier and my mom and my sister and me went to the spa. My dad went to see the bunker. The people maintaining the bunker were under cover as tv repair men. I think it is so cool that something like this is in West Virginia.

For a distant time, the most significant industry in West Virginia, that makes the most money for the state, is coal. But, now, the most prominent is tourism. West Virginia housing this secret bunker, with many ideally intriguing things about it to go transparent, this increases tourism to importance. The press grew to find out about this bunker as suspicious workers behind this revealed, like eerie television repair men. There were other clues; however, most were due to suspicious actions. I have not been to the bunker. Congress was the one for the purpose of this place, not the POTUS or SCOTUS Justices. It was kept secret for so long because the people behind it swore to keep it secret. And, even if the people behind it did leak it, it would not be as essential as something like conspiracy theories. West Virginia was selected due to, in my opinion, because it is a place people do not usually think to for someone to hide. When people look for major places, they think of California, Texas, or Washington, D. C. West Virginia is the perfect combination for a well-hidden place.
This secret underground bunker is important because it draws attention to our state and government. The people found out about the bunker due to the press. The press figured out from watching the repairmen going around. The Greenbrier is very distinct so it made it obvious. No, I have never been here but I would like to go. The president, as well as the Supreme Court Justices, would've hid in the safest place possible. This bunker was kept a secret because no one thought to look in West Virginia.

The seceret bunker was beneficial to wv because it is used for safety and in case of a emergency.They probally started to realize when people started looking suspicious. The president would would have stayed in offices. I have never been to the bunker before. -elaina whiteman
The bunker in WV attracted attention to our state, but before anyone knew it was good because who would think it was under a hotel in a very unpopular state. The press found out when they were told, but some clues could've been the strange tv repairmen in the hotel at times. I have never personally been to the bunker but I know people who have. The president would've hidden in a special room while a main room would've been divided up for the rest of the legislature. The whole idea of the Greenbrier Bunker is very strategic and benificial to the country.
Leah Shaw 4/5
How this government bunker was official. It was official by the president coming to the greenbrier in ev. No one would ever expect him to come to Wv or people wouldn't expect him to do this. In fact I don't know why he chose Wv to come to but no one expected it. When I first saw it , it was incredible. It was also good because in a state wv no one would guess. In conclusion it was very beneficial for the president to have a secret bunker in wv.

This secret underground bunker was beneficial to West Virginia because it puts something out there to the country so people will recognize us for something better than "a bunch of red necks". People found out about this bunker because told the public. The press most likely figured it out by people such as repair government people and more were coming in and out.The president probably would have stayed in the safest place in the bunker and the justices and judges be in the next safest. I have never in my life even heard about this bunker so I haven't been there and if I did I don't remember. They most likely chose West Virginia because it would be the last place someone would look for government underground bunker.

The secret underground bunker was very beneficial to West Virginia because it attracted attention to a very unknown state. Th press could have had clues about the bunker the whole time because of people going in and out of the bunker, but the press officially found out about the bunker after the government tole everyone. I have never been to the bunker or been aware of people who have but I one day wish to visit this bunker in our own state. A large room would have been dived in the bunker for all of the legislature, an the president had his own special room. The government bunker in West Virginia grew more attention to our ate and leading many other to be curios of our state.

It was beneficial because it brought attention to us. I have never been. The press got suspicious it was only a ,after of time til they found out. The president would be taken to the safest place. The secret was kept for 32 years because no one would think to look in West Virginia
The secret bunker was very beneficial for West Virginia. It attracted attention from an uncommon state such as West Virginia. Later, the press found out because people thought suspicious stuff what's happening under the Greenbrier. The same person always showed up and the Greenbrier is distinct so that's suspicious. I have never been to the bunker, but I think that it could be fun and interesting to go there. That would be the safest place for some people such as the President and the Justices because the secret has been kept for 32 years because nobody would've thought to look in West Virginia.
The bunker is good to our state because it would interest more people in our state. It also draws a lot more attention to us. I personally have never been in a bunker. Although it would be a very safe spot for someone like the president to hide at. The secret was kept for so long because no one would ever think that someone would go to West Virginia to hide out. It was also very close to the capital of the United States.

The secret bunker is benificial to West Virginia because it made our state have more attention and importance. The press found out about this because everyone was talking about this and it had brought lots of attention. Honestly I think people should have been more quit about this. No I have never been ther and no I never plan to go their (ever)!!! The justice would have been a secret and safe place. It could have been kept a secret for a very long time because no one would have checked in West Virginia. Then everyone got really suspicious about West Virginia.

It was beneficial to West Virginia because it made them fell important. The press eventually found out about the bunker with some clues. The whole time they were very suspicious. They thought it was strange that the tv repair man allows showed up. I have never been to the bunker. I do think that the Supreme Court justice would have hidden in a secret room in the bunker. It was kept secret for 32 years because they kept it secret very well. They chose to have it in wv because it was in the mountains.it was a very good hiding place in the mountains.
The secret bunker was beneficial to WV because it drew more attention to our state and made them feel a lot more important. The press had a lot of suspicion and began to collect clue after clue and other information until they eventually found out about it. I don't really plan to go to the bunker, nor have I been there. They kept the bunker secret for a very long time, and they chose WV because they could hide it inside of the mountains and hide it a lot better than they would have hidden it in any other flat area.
The secret bunker is beneficial to WV because it attracts more tourism to WV. The press had a lot of suspected evidence to prove that it was true that WV had a bunker. I have never been to the bunker but, I plan to go someday. They chips West Virginia to keep the bunker because it has many mountains to hide. I believe that the government like the President and the Supreme Court would have separate rooms inside the bunker. All in all, the bunker was a hidden place in WV to hide the President and Supreme Court
I would say that secret government bunker was beneficial to West Virginia because there aren't that many outstanding things to admire in our state so it's pretty neat that we have a White House looking bunker down here in West Virginia. I would guess that people found out about it because i mean come on, it's an enormous resort/hotel type of thing that is probably pretty expensive and it just looks exactly like the White House so people were going to find out eventually. I haven't been in the bunker but have been to the area around the thing. It was a good choice to put it in West Virginia because our state in general isn't all that suspicious to large government bunkers.

The secret bunker, created in West Virginia, is beneficial because it brings attention to our state. The press found out about the bunker due to multiple suspicions of the men working as T.V. repair men. Secretly, the men were in charge of maintaining the bunker. These suspicions played a big part on why people found out. I have never been to this bunker. The true purpose of the bunker was to protect the members of Congress. Neither the president ,nor the Supreme Court Justices would've hidden there. The secret was securely kept because the ones who knew of the tunnel were sworn to secrecy. WV was the best option for this bunker's location because it was easily accessible from Washington D.C. and it was in a place that no one would expect.
Serenity Austin 6/7th
The secret government bunker located at the Greenbrier was good for West Virginia because it brought positive attention to our state. The press found out about the bunker when suspicions were raised about the people entering the area. A suspicion that alerted the citizens was the "TV repair men" who spent long periods of time working inside the bunker. The men were working on the fundamentals of the bunker. I have never visited the bunker, but I would like to learn about the importance and history of it. The president and Supreme Court justices would not be housed here, but in a different secure area. It's purpose was to protect members of Congress who needed to be secure. The secret was kept for thirty-two years because the individuals who knew of the bunker were aware of the importance that it be kept hidden. These people were sworn to secrecy. West Virginia was a logical option for the bunker because it is located near Washington D.C and will not draw as much attention as other states such as New York and California.
