When it closed in 1945, WVOW was declared surplus, and the structures were salvaged or disposed. FUDS properties often change hands many times. The industrial portion of the facility, covering about one-third of the property, was deeded to the State of West Virginia and later became the McClintic Wildlife Station, managed by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. The remaining two-thirds are now owned privately or by Mason County. As with many FUDS, a number of parcels of the property have changed hands over the last 50 years, and various companies have conducted industrial activities.
