Beckley Expanding in Oakwood Prince Area with New Buildings
Beckley eyes heavy growth around The Triangle as Oakwood Avenue and Prince Street area sees two large structures under construction and multiple planned facilities. The Consoldated Bus Lines garage on North Oakwood and Sis-son Street tops a growing list, with Ashworth-Farmer building on West Prince Street and a proposed multi-story parking structure nearby. Hopkins Motor Company buys land at South Oakwood and Ellison for a 100,000 dollar brick and glass showroom and service center. Other projects include Blakeley’s Valley Drive warehouse, Mountain Motors expansion, and a new National Cash Register office, signaling a broad boom in commerce and infrastructure.
