Announcement: DCBHS administration office is located at 454 Main Street in Clintwood (the old Wells Fargo bank building). We are being forced to close the back half of our parking lot due to a developing issue with the pavement and support wall. We currently have the area clearly marked with cones and caution tape. Please refrain from parking any vehicles in this area until further notice.

This will affect the Law Offices of Greg Baker, the Virginia Autism clinic and the MEOC offices all located on the second floor.

*As a side note. If anyone may have any old pictures of the construction of that area and retaining wall from the early 1970’s, please reach out to us.
