Beckley Council Faces Financing For Street Repairs
Beckley officials fret over funding for street maintenance as about 24 000 dollars remains in this year’s budget until July.

A special Mercer Street levy up to about 40 000 dollars is planned, with 16 000 available, while council weighs citizen approval to cover remaining costs.
