Vei Hospital Street Levy Boosts Beckley Taxpayers
The Register and Post herald report that paving streets to the Veterans Hospital at a cost to each taxpayer amounts to a few dollars by assessed value. Proponents say the $6,000,000 institution yields broad benefits, including attracting more hospitals and boosting Beckley’s economy, while few big property owners bear much of the levy. Citizens should view the cents spent as a future investment, funding roads that may spur growth.
