Bluefield HUD dispute threatens local housing project
City leaders clash with HUD over the Bluefield Public Housing Authority project. HUD demands cancellation of architect Boggess contract and follows its November 27 guidance, while the authority seeks a second inspector and possible changes to plans dated January and March 1971. Contractors earlier agreed to no-cost improvements, later changed to a $10,000 payment, prompting further meetings after a joint local HUD and city review.
