In a 22-page written opinion, Judge Jackson Kiser rejected each of the New
River Valley Greens' concerns.
Among them: the exact location of the highway and damage to a plant called
the smooth coneflower.
Though Judge Kiser said highway planners "certainly could have been more

said: the 'Greens' "have failed to demonstrate the environmental impact
