ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. — The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 14 voted to recess for a planned work session and then to enter a closed session to discuss prospective businesses and expansions.
Before adjourning to the work session, the chair moved that the board go into closed session under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act exception for economic development (Code of Virginia §2.2-3711(A)(5)). The stated purpose was to discuss potential business locations or expansions in each of the county’s five magisterial districts where no prior announcement has been made. A second was recorded and the clerk conducted a roll call approving the motion.
Following the vote, the board recessed to the 4th Floor for the work session with the Roanoke Regional Partnership, with the closed session to follow as planned. No public details were disclosed during the public meeting about the businesses or specific sites; the board cited the statutory exemption that allows closed deliberation on prospective economic development matters.
