Relocation

In January 2020, the Huntington District of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced the allocation of $235.6 million to Buchanan County for flood relief protection.^[3] The funding was made available through the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, a bipartisan bill which was signed into law on June 6, 2019, to help communities construct flood and storm damage reduction projects. Under USACE's plan, the project's primary components included a voluntary floodproofing and floodplain evacuation program, in which the Buchanan County Career, Technology & Higher Learning Center (BCCTHLC) would get a ring wall to protect it from flooding, while Hurley High School qualified for relocation. Although USACE had primary responsibility for selecting a new site in Hurley, the Buchanan County School Board was allowed to choose an alternative site, which it did in February 2020 by selecting Southern Gap for the high school's relocation.
