Slider property next to Mt. Zion Post
Office will be site of new LKTA complex
By Bob Weaver
The construction of a new Little Kanawha Transit Authority facility at Mt. Zion will commence in 2011, according to manager Darlene Harris.
The LKTA is getting a $3,364,385 boost from the federal government's stimulus package for improvements,
West Virginia's Division of Public Transit is in charge of the project, including the letting of bids.
Harris says the money will be used to construct an operational complex, including a maintenance garage, office and training rooms.
The authority serves Calhoun, Roane and Jackson County, currently operating an office at Arnoldsburg.
The LKTA purchased 4.5 acres of land at Mt. Zion, originally known as the Slider property, and the state is currently jumping through hoops to ready the site, including asbestos abatement.
Although the Little Kanawha Bus has been around for 10 years, the Little Kanawha Transit Authority (LKTA) formally began operations on July 1, 2008.
The LK Bus system has continued to grow and provide essential transportation services to regional residents at low cost.
It's 5-person board of directors includes representation from each of the counties in the LKTA service area.
The Little Kanawha Transit Authority seeks to provide safe, reliable, and affordable transportation to the people in its operating area.
The service makes extra efforts to serve the needs of persons with disabilities and the elderly.
