Beckley Rec Levy Backed by Officials in City Growth
Beckley Recreation Board chairman James B. Kessinger urges a Tuesday vote to extend the three year levy for 168000, with 56 000 yearly for recreation while 30 percent funds a new city garage and 20 percent buys an aerial ladder truck. The plan preserves tax levels and expands New River Park and play areas as Beckley grows.
