Mayor Orders City Flags Lowered to Half-Staff

Mayor Goodwin ordered all City of Charleston flags at all City owned facilities be displayed at half-staff in honor of the life and service of Kanawha County Commissioner Henry “Hoppy” Shores. Shores served as Kanawha County Commissioner for 42 years, making him the longest-serving Commissioner in the history of Kanawha County. City flags will remain at half-staff through the day of services.

“Hoppy Shores had such a positive impact on our community. He had a passion and a commitment to serve. Hoppy always projected a warmth and kindness while remaining a fierce advocate for Kanawha County, our City and our great State,” said Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin.
