Bluefield city approves code update and sale of hillside lots
The city solicitor presented a second reading of an ordinance adopting state code standards to the city code. A January auction failed to attract bids on two hillside lots, but a Vine Street family offered $200 for the parcels and the board approved their sale. A reception for the new city manager and his wife was rescheduled due to snow, canceling the previously planned event.
