Hidden In A Small West Virginia Town, A Five-Story Marble Courthouse Rivals Any Big-City Capitol

A county courthouse from the 1890s still handles everyday paperwork like vital records and vehicle registration. The building is old, but it is still working. Its stone walls rise above a narrow mountain downtown, and its tower can look almost out of place there. I like how a coalfield county built something this bold for a town tucked between steep ridges.

Hillsville mayor reelected after tough campaign

Hillsville Mayor Greg Crowder won reelection by a substantial margin in the November 3, 2026, election. Incumbent Town Councilors Greg Yonce representing the Laurel Fork Ward and Barry Jessup of the Sulphur Springs Ward ran unopposed and also retained their seats on council. Mayor Crowder garnered 535 votes out of 949 ballots cast, while challenger Katie Horton received 315 votes and Andy Kaufman had 83. Sixteen ballots were cast for write-in candidates. “This was a really tough election,” said Crowder. “It was a brutal nonstop attack with half-truths, innuendos and borderline slander towards me and my family. There’s people that have been in politics their whole life and never seen nothing like it.” “I ran against former Mayor Bill Tate, who was a very honorable candidate and is actually a very good friend of mine now,” Crowder continued. “And I ran against Mrs. Taylor, the former mayor’s wife, and we basically ran on issues. We were able to shake hands after the election and I was hoping it would be the same with this race but I don’t think it’s going to be.” Greg Crowder was first elected in 2012. This election victory ushers in his 9th term as Mayor

Two Emergency Service providers recognized for life saving actions

Carroll County Emergency Services Director Jason Felts recognized the work of two members of the emergency services department at the November meeting of the Carroll County Board of Supervisors. “I want to come before you all for a couple of awards and y’all know I’m very passionate about what we do,” said Felts as he addressed the supervisors. “On September 17th, a nurse called 911. Her husband was having anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction and she didn’t know what to do. She says all my training, all these years, but I didn’t know what I was going to do and I thought I was going to lose my husband.” Felts continued by recounting what the wife of the ailing husband said to him. “She said, ‘I just wanted to call and tell you that the crew that showed up with their compassion and professionalism, I know that he was going to be very well taken care of and when they shut the doors on the ambulance, I wasn’t worried about following them at a high rate of speed going to the hospital because I knew they were taking good care of him and giving him the life-saving measures that he

Data Center debate takes a new direction as Alabama trip changes minds

As has been the case for the past several meetings of the Carroll County Board of Supervisors, the subject of data centers dominated the proceedings. The November meeting of the board had a decidedly different tenor however, as several citizens and supervisors alike changed their opinions after visiting a Google owned data center in Jackson County Alabama. A public hearing regarding the recently adopted Emergency Data Center Ordinance occurred at the beginning of the meeting, with the goal of making the emergency ordinance permanent. The Data Center Ordinance was formulated to place restrictions on data centers locating in Caroll County and includes limits to water consumption, noise pollution and places strict decommissioning requirements on facilities after they close. Delilah Brady came to the podium during the public hearing portion of the meeting and requested that the supervisors adapt the emergency data center ordinance and make it a permanent part of the county code. The Data Center Ordinance was subsequently adopted by a unanimous vote of the board. Google has expressed an interest in locating a data center on a piece of property owned by a private landowner near the Wildwood industrial park. Google invited members of the board to visit
