Scope and Contents

Types of records include reports, correspondence, publications, financial records, and more. Subjects include Community Development Block Grants, Housing and Urban Development, utilities, sidewalks, the Morgantown Municipal Airport, the Beechurst Power Plant, complaints on a variety of subjects, West Virginia University, state government, transportation, City Council, and a variety of other city functions and services.
