===Proposed metro government=== In 2006, the [[West Virginia Legislature]] adopted a new section to the West Virginia code β Chapter 7A β which provided for the consolidation of cities, cities with counties, or counties with counties.<ref>{{Cite web |title=West Virginia Code β 7A |url=http://www.legis.state.wv.us/WVCODE/07A/masterfrmFrm.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929131945/http://www.legis.state.wv.us/WVCODE/07A/masterfrmFrm.htm |archive-date=September 29, 2007}}</ref> Interest has been expressed by some Ohio County residents and officials and has become the main political endeavour of a local council of churches called "Hopeful City". As of March 2007, no official action has been taken in Ohio County on this matter. Other municipalities in West Virginia are considering consolidation including [[Beckley, West Virginia|Beckley]]-[[Raleigh County, West Virginia|Raleigh County]] and [[Fairmont, West Virginia|Fairmont]]-[[Marion County, West Virginia|Marion County]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Intelligencer / Wheeling News-Register | The Intelligencer / Wheeling News-Register |url=http://www.news-register.net/community/articles.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20070813091953/http://www.news-register.net/community/articles.asp?articleID=16923%2F |archive-date=August 13, 2007 |access-date=March 17, 2007}}</ref> The most significant proposals under this legislation include a consolidation of [[Wirt County, West Virginia|Wirt County]] with [[Wood County, West Virginia|Wood County]] and a population consolidation for [[Kanawha County, West Virginia|Kanawha]]-[[Putnam County, West Virginia|Putnam]]-[[Cabell County, West Virginia|Cabell]] counties.<ref>{{Cite web |title=''Charleston Gazette'' β June 21, 2006 |url=http://www.redorbit.com/news/business/545519/mccabe_wants_cabell_kanawha_putnam_consolidation_by_2010/index.html/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120214003218/http://www.redorbit.com/news/business/545519/mccabe_wants_cabell_kanawha_putnam_consolidation_by_2010/index.html/ |archive-date=February 14, 2012}}</ref>
