A joint effort by four Roanoke Valley organizations will bring the region

It will be located in the Valley Gateway Industrial Park off route 460 in

Meanwhile Henry County supervisors have given the nod to the purchase of 750
acres of land next to the county- owned Beaver Creek Industrial Park.
It will nearly triple the size of the park, which was running out of space.

Roanoke County says the hardware chain has discussed the possibility of
putting a location near the Hunting Hills Plaza off route 220, and a developer
has been getting options on the homes that would make up the site.
One of the first jobs at the new R-R Donnelley plant in Roanoke County will
be a book chronicling the Roanoke Valley's economic progress.
Similar books written about other cities have made it easier for them to
promote themselves to prospective businesses.
