WELCH, W.Va. – All McDowell County courts will be closed Friday because of continuing recovery efforts from last weekend’s historic flooding.
Prosecutor Brittney Puckett said the plan is to reopen on Monday.
The February grand jury was scheduled for earlier this week and has also been delayed. All jurors will be notified when the session is scheduled.
The flooding that started on Feb.15 has been described as the worst recorded in the county.
Residents are also reminded to complete a damage survey. A link can be found on the McDowell County Commission Facebook page.
