County Voters Consider Health Facilities Levy
Raleigh County voters will decide in the November general election on a levy to raise 100000 dollars to match another 100000 in federal funds for health facilities. The move, supported by the Raleigh County Medical Society and Health Council, would require a 60 percent majority to pass and aims to fund a modern county health center with Hill Burton money. The effort is backed by the Beckley League of Women Voters and local civic groups to avoid a separate election and speed up improvements. The Health Council was formed May 24 to reorganize county health services and allow tax funds for technicians and sanitarians.
