MARTINSBURG -- A lease agreement with the West Virginia National Guard is helping the Berkeley County Roundhouse Authority settle old debts.
The authority is charged with restoring and redeveloping a historic former Baltimore & Ohio roundhouse complex.
The National Guard is leasing a building at the complex for storage. The authority is expected to receive more than $500,000 over five years.
The Herald-Mail (http://bit.ly/VgyYjq ) of Hagerstown, Md., reports that the authority on Saturday approved paying off a $100,000 debt owed to a contractor for construction of a pedestrian bridge.
Last October, the authority approved a separate agreement to pay $150,000 owed to BB&T Bank.
The roundhouse and red-brick shop buildings were the site of the nation's first railroad strike in 1877.
