Virginia buildings past and present linked to state history
The old state constitutional convention site, once home to Virginia's first Reorganized Government, now sits beside a bowling alley. The Wheeling group seeks 150000 dollars in state funds, 125000 for the building purchase and 25000 for preservation. The budget process begins Thursday as agencies plan for the January 8 Legislature session. Natural Resources Director Lane warns of a 100000 dollar supplemental request to avoid forest fires, while Game and Fish faces a 66000 dollar shortfall. Without funds, furloughs, closures, and reduced hunting areas loom.
