GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • Huntington city leaders are moving forward with a $2M downtown Streetscape Project to improve parking, traffic, and pedestrian safety across 10 downtown blocks — the plan will test hydraulic bollards on Ninth Street and aims to boost local events and economic activity.

  • Protesters gathered outside City Hall on Monday to voice their concerns over the decision not to fly the Pride flag during Pride Month.

  • City officials unveiled a summer paving plan to repair roads hit by a harsh winter and update accessibility standards using sensor data to map repair needs.
