Bluefield to House Municipal Parking Building Under City Control
The city will operate the new half million dollar municipal parking building by a seven member advisory committee appointed by Mayor West. City Attorney Luther Scott says only the city board of directors can run the facility, so the advisory panel serves without power. A manager will be employed under direct supervision of the board. A private sale proposal was raised but not acted on.
