Hedrick Proposes Three Year Tax to Aid Parki ng Loan
Beckley officials consider a three year tax to fund a $450000 loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for a new city parking structure. Mayor Grover Hedrick says RFC refused a $2000 increase and a tax levy may be needed to cover the project cost, with an estimated $588000 building price and $134008 additional funding gap. The council has not yet acted on the RFC offer and the tax plan hinges on future votes and approvals.
