During a special meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 30, the McDowell County Commissioners discussed what could be done with the former Nebo United Methodist Church building and land. County officials have heard that Wesley Community Development, the nonprofit agency that is assisting with the sale of the former church property, is interested in continued community usage of that site.
Commission Vice Chairman David Walker said the church building has a lot of history associated with it. The discussion by county officials is very preliminary and they are just now starting to discuss the possibility of acquiring and using that site. “We have a lot of work to do,” he said. “We are excited about the potential of that site. It is in the heart of Nebo.”
"The board is very in tune with making sure that resources and programs are available throughout the county. Nebo sometimes gets forgotten and we want to make that there are programs and opportunities throughout McDowell County." -- Commission Vice Chairman David Walker
