The City of Bluefield plans for a consolidated emergency response facility
First announced last summer, plans for a consolidated facility for emergency responders are moving forward, with the City of Bluefield having applied for federal funds to make the vision a reality. The centralized facility would bring together EMS, police, and fire departments in the city, and would provide a wider variety of resources for the agencies, many of which are operating out of the Bluefield City Hall location.
Bluefield City Manager, Cecil Marson told 59News that city authorities are looking at multiple potential locations for the site, and that the plan is part of a greater effort to provide the best possible service experience for the citizens of Bluefield.'We're working on designs for the building in a couple different locations. Our goal is to give the most responsive service we can to the citizens of Bluefield in our community,' said Marson. 'So, we're looking at it very closely to make sure that we're doing the best absolutely that we can to take care of everyone.'
Marson says, along with federal funding from the offices of U.S. Senators Jim Justice and Shelley Moore Capito, the city will be seeking grant funding for the project from multiple other sources as well.

Jim Cramer Says 'Go With Home Depot'
The Home Depot, Inc. (NYSE:HD) is one of the 25 stocks Jim Cramer recently shared insights on. During the episode, Cramer showed bullish sentiment toward the stock as he said: 'I say go with Home Depot. I know that the last acquisition they just made, GMS Materials for professional contractors, seems a tad hasty, but the SRS deal from last year seems to be working out well. Home Depot is more than just a storied company. It's a company that reinvents itself regularly, has a strong culture. This time, it's really gone for the professional, the contractor. More important, it almost always works. Long term, you really don't want to bet against this one.' A home improvement store overflowing with a variety of products and supplies. Home Depot (NYSE:HD) is a home improvement retailer that provides building materials, décor, garden products, installation services, and tool rentals. During a June episode, Cramer commented that it was very hard to own the stock, but his Charitable Trust is sticking with it. 'Next up, retail. Oh man, it's all over the map, but for the most part, the stocks are awful. Kohl's looks so troubled. Macy's can't get out of its own way, closeout stores Ollie's just downgraded. Burlington, Ross, TJX, all trading terribly. Target's been clobbered. Home Depot, ouch. I like it, but it's very, very hard to own with such a horrendous housing market and a miserable garden season. If you want to own Home Depot, you have to hold your nose and buy it in anticipation of the rate cuts from the Fed. That's what we're doing for the Charitable Trust, but it's a struggle…. We are sticking with it.' While we acknowledge the potential of HD as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
