• Transformative wireless project delivers cell coverage along 20-mile stretch of Hwy. 460 (virginiamountaineer.com) — New cell towers along U.S. 460 in Buchanan and Tazewell counties are finally closing the dangerous "dead zone" between Richlands and Grundy, improving safety and everyday connectivity for local drivers. The $4.4 million project also boosts access for Bluestone Technology Park and other Tazewell-area economic development, with all six new towers expected online by mid-October.
