Dan McKinney of the Radford Chamber of Commerce presented a community window-painting project created with Radford High School art students and teacher Sarah Blackburn.

McKinney described that students visited and painted windows for nine local businesses, noted the students' enthusiasm and logistics of the project, and read comments from teacher Sarah Blackburn praising the experience as meaningful for students. He thanked businesses that donated window space and made financial contributions; he said the project raised roughly $1,000 for the Radford High School art department.

Mayor and council members thanked the students, the teacher and the Chamber, and applauded the visual improvements to East and West Main Street and Tyler Avenue. The council encouraged continuation of the collaboration in future years.
