Weather Delays Plans For Rebuilding Blackey Community Center

The weather has reportedly delayed the next step on rebuilding the Blackey Community Center. This week the Letcher County Fiscal Court had to delay their meeting which included hiring an architect to rebuild or replace the community center damaged in the July 2022 flood. The Mountain Eagle reports FEMA has granted $600,000 to rebuild the center. The Fiscal Court hopes to award the architecture contract at their next meeting.
