Bluefield State president outlines housing plan and state board changes
Bluefield State College aims to build a 200 student dorm with potential growth at a cost of 5 to 8 million dollars to attract out of state students. Funding may come from federal sources, with no state support mentioned. Surface contamination at the former gas site nearby is estimated to require 200 thousand to 2 million dollars for cleanup. Moore noted five companies showing interest in the project and discussed statewide college board changes set for July 1 2001. He urged focus on education to drive economic development and indicated he may leave if a new interim policy board alters governance.
