Vinton Area Corridors Plan
Over the past several months, staff from the County of
Roanoke and the Town of Vinton have been working jointly to create a future
development plan for six of the major corridors in the Vinton Area. This collaborative plan aims to create a
strategy for improving the aesthetics and safety along the study
corridors.
 The second of two community meetings for the Vinton Plan
was held on June 18, 2009 at the Vinton War Memorial. At this meeting, staff presented three future
land use scenarios and a set of draft goals based on community input gathered
through a survey, stakeholder interviews and the first community meeting held
on January 29, 2009. The citizen input
gained from the second community was taken
to the Roanoke County Planning Commission for a Work Session in the end of
July. The final draft Vinton Area Corridors
Plan will be taken to the Planning Commission in September 2009.
