Dozer expands Mt. Zion lot for WV Department of Highways

Area will be used for supplies and rock

The local Department of Highways is expanding their lot at Mt. Zion, improving an area next to the facility for storage. The current rock storage at Grantsville, which is often flooded, will be moved to Mt. Zion.

The WVDOH said the annual tire collection was a roaring success with a record number of old tires collected last week - 4,567 in all.
