West Virginia officials expect the Appalachian Regional Commission to approve the Beckley to Summersville development highway at its June meeting. Gov. Smith urged action, noting the route would link with Highland Scenic Highway and boost the Summersville Reservoir area while aiding economic growth and reversing local decline. The plan, backed by consultants, would be funded with 70 percent federal aid and considered alongside Kentucky expansion proposals.
