A Roanoke County citizens group plans to hire an attorney to challenge the Board of Supervisors recent approval of plans for a Home Depot.
200 residents turned out for a meeting last night at which

Another issue was on the minds of several other Roanoke County residents -- who could have an alternative route to Interstate 73 running through their back yards.
Several Cotton Hill Road residents turned out at a meeting last night to say the planned route would decrease property values and detract from the area's beauty.
V-Dot promises the proposed highway would bring economic development to affected areas.
