It is a very great town, small and not much to offer. Since the mining industry has been reduced to hardly anything because of poor administration and bans on coal mining activities from the Democratic side of the government. It has rich history and at one time was called the little apple. There used to be great wealth and ten times the amount of people that are now living here. The economy is almost dead, but the tourist industry is starting to pick up because of our amazing trails.
In general Welch is just a poor image of what it used to be. Many shops have closed down and those who are left open are bound to close in due time. The roads are never fixed here, so good luck keeping your car in shape! If you’re considering coming here for school or business, I suggest you look elsewhere.
Welch is very run down and not a very good place to live or to visit. There is nothing to do besides a movie theater and some parks. There are not barely any job opportunities here. The schools here are not very good either and struggle to keep teachers.
