Roanoke County administrators and planners will meet tonight with Glenvar residents to discuss issues that arose from a meeting two weeks ago in which the residents said they were tired of all the industrial development happening in West Roanoke County.
The meeting will be at 7 p.m. at the new Spring Hollow water treatment plant.
During the Feb. 21 meeting at Glenvar High School, county officials talked about land for potential rezoning from residential to commercial and industrial - the biggest of which is a 457-acre farm that the Industrial Development Authority wanted to reserve for a possible industrial park.
But the more than 200 residents who attended complained that all of the recent industrial development has gone in their end of the county.
The residents also complained that a stretch of U.S. 11/460 has not been widened despite the growth. And they said they were dissatisfied with water service in West County.
Fred Altizer, administrator for the Virginia Department of Transportation's Salem district, and the county's utilities director, Gary Robertson, will be on hand to discuss those issues.
County Administrator Elmer Hodge also will update residents on economic development in West County.
