Restaurants, shops and a motel were scheduled to fill these 13 acres next to Wal-Mart on Route 220.

Prosecutors say a Blacksburg woman managed to bilk her employer of three-quarters of a million dollars over six years before anyone caught on.
60-year-old Joanne Galderisi (Gal-dur-EEE-SEE) was a bookkeeper at Christiansburg Printing.
She was formally charged today with 23 counts of felony forgery and 5 counts felony embezzlement.
She, her husband and her daughter are also the targets of a civil suit filed by her former employer.
Prosecutors say that Galderisi forged company checks made out to herself and hid them from her bosses.
