Board Buys Land For New Marsh Fork Elementary
WEST VIRGINIA....
The Raleigh County Board of Education has bought property for a new elementary school that will replace the existing Marsh Fork Elementary School on W.Va. 3 located near a Massey Energy coal preparation plant and slurry impoundment. The existing school has been at the center of a debate on whether the prep plant and impoundment are a health and safety hazard to the students. The board paid a member of the Cantley family $80,000 for the property at Rock Creek which is about 3 miles east of the existing site.
