Beckley Council Delays Lights Decision Amid Tax Petition
Beckley city council postponed a 10 year lighting contract with Appalachian Electric Power while awaiting the firm's stance on a sales tax withdrawal petition. Mayor Hedrick questioned raising rates and noted the city’s 1954 franchise expiry. If approved, the project would lift the annual light bill from 9056.99 to about 14679 with a test of new white way lights on Prince Street.
