| BAR FOUNDATION PROPERTY The Bar Foundation’s Board of Directors has made the decision to place its buildings and property in Charleston, located at 2006 Kanawha Blvd., East (State Bar Center) and at 2008 Kanawha Blvd., East (Lawyer Disciplinary Board former office), on the market for rent or sale. The State Bar, which leased the buildings, has informed the Bar Foundation that it will be vacating the premises in the next few weeks. The Board has initiated contacts with real estate consultants to determine the most appropriate future for these office buildings located less than 1/2 block from the State Capitol with necessary parking. |
