The state Senate Finance Committee has allocated 500-thousand dollars for a new Division of Motor Vehicles Office in Jefferson County.
A six-thousand square foot office is expected to be open by October, though officials are still searching for a site.
D-M-V Spokeswoman Mary Jane Lopez says the new building will help ease the burden on the Martinsburg office, the second busiest in the state.
The next closest D-M-V office is in Moorefield.
The Jefferson County D-M-V is part of the Senate's 2005 budget. The House is expected to approve the line item.
