Drive-through clinic
CHRISTIANSBURG - The Montgomery County Health Department will hold its second annual drive-through flu and pheumonia clinic Wednesday, Oct. 2, in the parking lot of Park United Methodist Church on Park Street from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The clinic is suitable for people who have limited mobility, are wheelchair bound, or unable to get into and out of a car easily. The health department provided shots to 100 people in last year's drive-through clinic.
Nurses will provide the vaccines, and the service should require about 15 minutes. Participants should wear loose clothing.
Flu shots are $7 and are covered by Medicare and Medicaid with a card. Pneumonia shots are $15.
Traffic forum planned
DUBLIN - A summit on transportation and how it relates to economic development in the New River Valley will be held at 9 a.m. Monday in Edwards Hall on the New River Community College campus.
The forum, open to the public, will include information on plans for an intermodal park to be located in the Dublin area, a transportation highway link between the New River Valley Airport and Blacksburg, and the concept of a free trade zone for imports and exports.
The valley's congressional and state legislative representatives have all been invited to the forum, along with officials of Virginia Tech, the New River Valley Planning District Commission, and state transportation commission members.
The gathering is being sponsored by Pulaski Encouraging Progress, the Commission on the Future of Southwest Virginia, New River Valley Economic Development Alliance and Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce.
