Directors Delay Action On Solicitation Ordinance In Bluefield
Bluefield city board puts off second reading of a proposed five member Board of Supervisors of Public Solicitations amid study delays. The measure would route permit decisions away from the city manager and to the new board. The board also hears a HUD redevelopment funding hearing for Northside, addresses a High Street pothole and guardrail, schedules Lowe Street abandonment for July 17, and approves multiple licenses and building permits.

Work Completed On City Hall New Offices To Open Monday
City officials say the Bluefield Sanitary Board and two Mercer County magistrates will move to the third floor of the new Bluefield city hall this Friday and begin operations Monday. The $150,000 third floor work funded by three local banks included ceilings, partitions, painting, wiring, lighting, tiling and restrooms. The space will house two courtrooms and offices for two assistants, with sanitary bills due at the new site and open house planned by Magistrates David Pedneau and Donald Hare. Groundbreaking for the overall project occurred in 1975, with most offices moved in 1977 and parking to be expanded nearby.
