Carolina Avenue residents seek nearer environment
Carolina Avenue residents led by Lee Green and Bill Robertson asked the Bluefield City Board to adopt an ordinance requiring rental property owners to maintain their properties. Green cited 85 signatures and concerns on Highland Avenue and the Cherry Street sidewalk, fearing fire risk and unsafe walking conditions. City Manager Fred Burton was told to review the issue as part of a broader agenda including a $42,000 stone wall repair contract on Princeton Avenue funded with federal money after a dispute with state authorities over responsibility.
