Bluefield Beckley Oak Hill, WV, October 22, 2026 —

Mingo and Wyoming County communities are set to receive $8.7 million in combined local, state and federal funding for water extensions, according to the information provided. The work is intended to improve public water service for more than 450 residents in Justice and Hanover and connect Huff Consolidated School and the R.D. Bailey Lake facility to the public water system.

The funding is described as supporting water extensions, but details about the projects’ routes, construction plans or the amount allocated to each community were not provided. The information also does not specify how much of the total will come from local, state or federal sources.

The stated scope includes two residential service areas and two facilities: Huff Consolidated School and the R.D. Bailey Lake facility. The number of residents expected to benefit is given as over 450, though the figure is not broken down between Justice and Hanover. No separate estimate was provided for the school or lake facility.

Project timelines, the agencies responsible for administering the funding, and the expected start or completion dates were not provided. The available information also does not say whether planning, approvals or construction have begun. It therefore does not establish when residents or the two facilities could be connected to public water.

The funding total and intended beneficiaries outline the announced investment, while additional project details remain unspecified. No information was provided about the individual costs of the extensions or any other infrastructure work included in the funding.
