Congress passes bill to rename Martinsburg courthouse

CHARLESTON -- Congress has passed a bill renaming Martinsburg's federal building and courthouse for former U.S. District Judge Craig Broadwater.

Broadwater was a state court judge for 13 years and a federal judge for 10 years before his death in 2006.

The House of Representatives approved the bill earlier this month, and the Senate had passed the legislation in February.

U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller introduced the bill.
