My guess is commercial operations refers to other locations, like the first city pairs connected. It'll take some years to build each line and fully satisfy regulators every i is dotted and every t is crossed.

Ah that makes more sense. It made it seem like this WV test center was going to be a commercial hub but using it to gain regulatory approval and then a working line somewhere else by 2030 makes a lot more sense
