That morning, construction began on a 5200 square-foot cryptocurrency mine, one of at least two crypto mines currently being built in Campbell County. The mine sits close to Highway 50 south of...

Several roadways on both sides of Pine Haven's Vista Grande Drive have been chip sealed this spring with the remaining streets completed in the next budget year, perhaps in the fall, according to Mayor Karla Brandenburg. The reasons for the break in the work is twofold; HDR Engineering's Heath Turbiville spoke to the wetness of the ground at this time, after the substantial rain the area has been otherwise enjoying, "Some places [on Aspen Street] has started to dry up, but when [you] drive over...
