Airport cost estimates delay GladeWater plans and state budget notes
The GladeWater airport report shows five year short term costs at 653110 dollars, with officials delaying certain projects due to limited funds and inflation.

Virginia’s first quarter 1975 shows diverse manufacturing growth across mills, meat plants, furniture, electronics and more.
