City Board approves alley closure and drive-thru upgrades in Bluefield
The Bluefield Board of Directors approved closing an alley south of Scott Street adjacent to the downtown bank’s drive-thru as part of a nearly $3 million renovation at First Century Bank. The plan adds four new drive-thru lanes, moves two parking spaces, and redesigns the main lobby and second floor, while demolishing three adjacent buildings. Also approved were not parking on Jefferson Street, extending enterprise zones tax incentives to July 1, 2001, and a Small Cities Block Grant re submission for lead paint removal at Princeton Avenue and Scott Street buildings, with related upgrades and a new East River Mountain cellular tower project.
