Mount Hope annexation vote delayed by commission president's death
The Raleigh County Commission postpones a decision to annex Appalachian Heights into Mount Hope after commission president Dave Tolliver died unexpectedly. The plan would extend Mount Hope's boundaries into Raleigh County, with 100 acres along U.S. 19 near Crossroads Mall, split among Northside Properties LLC parcels. supporters cite future infrastructure, opponents warn of lost tax dollars and water-provider shifts. Beckley Water opposes. the project faces PSC questions. The county will still collect taxes, and a court ruling dictates annexations require no county discretion. The rescheduled vote and other agenda items were set for the next meeting, accessible in person or by remote link.

Breeding season drives bears into populated areas
Wildlife officials warn that black bears breed mid June to mid July, prompting activity into homes as they search for food. Bears emerge from dens in March and raid unsecured garbage, birdseed, pet food, and grills. To prevent conflicts, secure garbage, seal odors, remove outdoor pet food nightly, take down and store bird feeders, and avoid feeding wildlife as it is illegal and dangerous.
