VIENNA, W.Va. (AP) - The city of Vienna is seeking to buy a former manufacturing plant.

The former Johns Manville plant closed in 2006. Huntington-based Eaves Recycling has been in charge of recycling and scrapping at the site.

The Parkersburg News and Sentinel (https://bit.ly/1o1zeoP ) reports that City Council unanimously voted Monday night to authorize Mayor Randy Rapp to enter into negotiations with Eaves Recycling.
