Three properties in Wood County, W. Va., will be inspected for asbestos as part of an ongoing flood mitigation project.
The county bought the flood-prone properties in Happy Valley and plans to demolish them.
The Parkesburg News and Sentinel reports that the County Commission on Monday accepted a bid from Media, Pa.-based Accredited Environmental Technologies to conduct the asbestos inspections.
Wood County received $344,050 from the federal Hazard Mitigation Grant Program for the flood project’s latest phase.
