P. Whitney, a West Virginia contractor, was under contract with the state of West Virginia to construct State Route 2

Question:

P. Whitney, a West Virginia contractor, was under contract with the state of West Virginia to construct State Route 2 near East Steubenville, just across the border from Steubenville, Ohio. Since the area was very hilly, Whitney used high explosives, such as dynamite and nitroglycerin, to clear the way for the road. One particularly large blast damaged a storeroom of the Steubenville Plate and Window Glass Company, located across the border in Ohio. The damage was extensive, and most of the stored glass was broken and rendered unusable. Keeping in mind that the blasting was done in West Virginia and the damage occurred in Ohio, which state’s law will govern the action brought in a West Virginia court by Steubenville Plate Glass against Whitney?
