John Hall, of the Roanoke Regional Partnership, told the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors that the partnership's annual report showed a record $396.9 million in economic impact last year and described growth in the region's talent pipeline. The report was presented as part of the March 10 meeting briefing.
The board approved the consent agenda without discussion. Included in that consent package was the first reading of an ordinance to accept and appropriate grant funds from the Virginia 911 Services Board for NextGen 911 hardware. The ordinance was bundled in the consent agenda and advanced on that procedural vote; the transcript does not record a mover, seconder, or vote tallies for the consent action.
No members of the public signed up to speak during the meeting, and department reports were accepted without discussion. During supervisors' reports, Supervisor North provided an update on project funding from the Commonwealth Transportation Board; Supervisor Hooker highlighted county promotion work on social media; Supervisor Mahoney noted the Cavring Volunteer Firefighter Academy graduation; and Vice Chairman Radford discussed the state's redistricting vote.
The briefing notice said full board meetings are available on Reno Valley Television's YouTube page and reminded listeners the next meeting is scheduled for March 24 at 2 p.m.
