West Virginia University at Parkersburg is selling two downtown properties that were donated to the school in 2008.

The university’s governing board agreed Wednesday to sell one property to Parkersburg Brewing Company for a brewery and wholesale and retail sales outlet. The purchase price is $251,000.

The Mid-Ohio Valley Area Development Corporation will pay $210,500 for the other property donated by The Erickson Foundation.

Proceeds of the sales will go to the university’s capital improvement fund.
