BLUEFIELD — School officials in McDowell County requested $12.8 million in School Building Authority funding assistance Tuesday for the development of a proposed elementary school project that would combine existing facilities in Anawalt, Fall River and Welch.

School Superintendent Jim Brown presented the project to the SBA board and SBA Executive Director Dr. Mark Manchin. The SBA board has received requests from 23 different counties over the past two days competing for a share of $40 million in state school construction funds to be awarded next month.
