Bluefield town adopts lodging tax with no immediate effect
Bluefield Virginia Town Council approved a 3 percent lodging tax on a second reading but expects no immediate revenue since no hotels or motels are located within the town. Town Manager J C Higginbotham said the tax would apply only if a hotel or bed and breakfast opens in Bluefield.

March Decision Possible on Mount View School Funding
McDowell County School Superintendent Dr. Mark Manchin says the state School Building Authority is likely to decide in March on releasing more funds for Mount View High and Mount View Middle School renovations. Planned work includes a new HVAC system, new classrooms, gym renovations and completing the auditorium, estimated at 1.2 million dollars for the auditorium and 2.7 to 2.8 million for the heating and cooling system. The high school auditorium has never been completed since the 1979 opening, forcing graduation to be held at a Welch armory. The projects aim to make the schools state of the art.
