The town looks terrible. It looks like a war zone, said Mayor Will Pace. Chatham prides itself on being the prettiest little town in Southside Virginia. It s not anymore.
Pace demanded Inframark finish debris removal by the end of this week. The fact that there are more branches and limbs on South Main Street than the entire town of Gretna altogether really bothers me. I m sick of seeing it, Pace said.

Lumberton is one of several communities in the state to receive part of the $282 million in loans and grants created to help pay for drinking water and wastewater projects, according to Gov. Roy Cooper s office.
