A popular Cabell County retailer, the Barboursville Target, has been forced to close its doors due to a landslip that has caused utility issues and structural concerns. The landslip near the store has led to a voluntary evacuation notice for landowners in the area, according to Mayor Chris Tatum.

The closure occurred earlier this month as structural engineers and utility workers were called in to assess broken water and sewer lines on the property. A spokesperson for Target informed Eyewitness News that the store will remain closed for an extended period due to the slip, which has created a potential safety hazard.

The cause of the landslip is currently under investigation, and there is no set timetable for the store’s reopening. The situation has raised safety concerns, leading to the closure of the Barboursville Target without a specified date for resuming operations.

As the community awaits further updates on the situation, the impact of the landslip on the store and its surrounding area continues to be a matter of local concern. Stay tuned for more information as the investigation and restoration efforts progress.
