WYTHEVILLE - Wythe County voters will decide Nov. 8 whether to move to direct election of School Board members as other nearby counties have done.
Circuit Judge R. William Arthur signed the order last week putting the question on the ballot, following petitions asking for it. Frankie Scott, who works as a private detective and was interested in getting the issue before the voters, took many of the petitions to shopping centers and elsewhere for people to sign.
Funding sought for site study
WYTHEVILLE - The Wythe County Joint Industrial Development Authority will seek a state grant that could go as high as $30,000 to evaluate six potential industrial sites and decide which is the best one.
It would require a 25 percent match, amounting to $7,500 in county funds if the maximum grant was approved.
A site selection committee identified the six potential sites.
