EXPLORE STILL MUST BE FUNDED, FINISHED

TO ENSURE the continued quality of life in the Roanoke Valley and jobs for our children and grandchildren, it is imperative that economic development of the type provided by the Explore Project be maintained to its fullest level.

Development such as Explore will increase interest in the area and may lead to more relocations such as the recently announced Grove Manufacturing move. This type of domino effect can only enhance our valley's reputation in the business world.

A major step, however, remains the funding and completion of Explore. Our organization has supported this project in the past and continues to do so. LEN BOONE President, Boone & Co., Realtors ROANOKE
