The County Court the City of Beckley and the American Legion hold title to Memorial Airport site three miles east of Beckley on the Piney Gorge plateau. The three public groups financed the 1100 acre purchase with tax funds and private gifts. The Legion borrowed about 5000 to buy the remaining 487 acres and will transfer its title to the County Court, making co-ownership for development with federal aid. Roughly half the cost may fall to county taxpayers up to 1,000,000. The region urges speedy air commerce development to avoid being left behind by other counties and states.
