Kanawha Board of Education Pursuing Property For New School
WEST VIRGINIA....
The Kanawha Board of Education is pursuing property on Wood Road near Edgewood County Club to build its second West Side elementary school. Some residents say they worry development on the land will only increase flooding in a neighborhood that already experiences flooding after heavy rains, thanks to a creek higher up on the mountain. Some are skeptical about the location, saying it's a dead-end street, and access would be a problem. The road is only 15 feet wide and would have to be more than doubled before it could support school traffic. The Board will make their plans public as soon as it gets the green light from attorneys.
