Knott County officials are moving forward with efforts to acquire land to relocate flood survivors. More than 13-hundred acres have been identified near the Knott County Sportsplex and is owned by the West Virginia based Western Pocahontas Properties. In Today’s Interview, Stan Ingold speaks with Knott County Attorney Tim Bates about the county’s effort to acquire that land.
WEKU has made efforts to reach out to Western Pocahontas Properties and have not received a response.
