Resort City Battle Faces Hatcher Suggestion to End Fight
In White Sulphur Springs the city and The Greenbrier do not drop a legal clash over annexation aimed at boosting tax revenue for sewer plant upgrades serving 500 new homes. Judge Hatcher urged both sides to negotiate at a June hearing, urging a fresh start to the dispute. In Beckley the DHHR asked a circuit judge to close Prime of Life Personal Care Home after nearly a dozen complaints, with an Aug 21 hearing set to potentially bar new patients and close the facility within 30 days.
