PRINCETON — A combination of COVID-19, a desire to leave big cities, a desire to retire and a greater desire to work from home have fueled a greater desire for homes in Mercer County and other parts of southern West Virginia.
West Virginians learned Monday from the 2020 U.S. Census that a 3.2 percent decrease in population would cost state a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Losing citizens brought about this statistic, but people seeking a new home were moving in at the same time. Mercer County is among the areas seeing new residents.

PRINCETON — While there will be no in-person Downtown Countdown celebration to ring in the new year on Mercer Street tonight, organizers have put in the hard work for community members to enjoy the celebration from the comfort and safety of their homes.
“For the past seven years, The Downtown Countdown has provided an exciting, family-friendly New Year’s Eve experience in The Mercer Street Grassroots District, complete with six stages of performances, ice sculptors, fire dancing, kids’ activities and a ball drop and fireworks at the stroke of midnight,” said event organizer Lori McKinney.
