The St. Albans branch of the state's Office of Environmental Health received one of the Tax Department's former courthouse routers last month.

Three years ago, the state Tax Department purchased 55 Internet routers for county courthouses in West Virginia, but was forced to stop the project and send the routers to the state's surplus property warehouse in Dunbar.

State workers recently retrieved this router from the Morgan County Courthouse, with plans to send it to the surplus property division. The state is installing new routers -- paid for by the federal economic stimulus -- in county courthouses.
