Officials not opposed to Bluefield Divides sewer project
Officials from the Bluefield Sanitary Board and the Tazewell PSA say the Bluefield Divides sewer project can become a reality. About 100 attendees at a Vision Summit supported extending sewer service along the Route 19 460 corridor to 900–1,200 households. The plan aims to protect the Bluestone Watershed and spur regional economic development while addressing local concerns about herbicides and Camp Joy reopening.
