Road appropriation boosts Wise county to Appalachia link
Wise county supervisors approve a $3000 appropriation to finish the Nir Stone Gap to Appalachia road project begun by the town and county prisoners. The plan envisions a large macadamized system linking Lee county line to Gladeville and extending through Stonega and Imboden, enhancing district road access and property values. A bond election for about $100,000 may be held to fund broader work, with strong support from H. A. W. Skeen and local business leaders. Public schools in Appalachia and Big Stone Gap reopen with sets of teachers and a new term underway.
