Hillside stabilization work continued Friday at the Target store at the Merritt Creek Farm shopping plaza. The store closed on Feb. 2 due to a water leak and the landslide, which caused damage to its foundation and resulted in recommended evacuations of some homes in the Meadowcreek subdivision.

A federal study of Cabell County, which includes Barboursville, suggested the Target store had a 70 to 100% probability of slope failure, according to a local news outlet.
A hill slip and water leak that caused the Target at Merritt Creek Farm in Barboursville to abruptly shut down over a week ago will lead to a prolonged store closure, the company said Saturday.
