support. (Strategic Plan and Work Plan for FY 23 attached.) In summation of the Work Plan: high on the priority list for the
coming year...the establishment of a Mini Facade Grant Program with the purpose being to visually improve the Greater
Willliamson Road area. The goal will be to encourage investment and improvement of real property within the Willliamson Road
area and among the Williamson Road member business owners as well as help to decrease vacancy, in particular vacancy of
first floor storefronts, improve the vibrancy of the area, and serve as a valuable tool for revitalizing the area as a whole.

Provide a detailed description of the proposed project. What specific activities will be undertaken with this funding?2.
Answer:
Program Description : The Greater Williamson Road Area Business Association Facade Grant Program will provide
grants ranging from $200 to $3,000 to assist small businesses who are paid dues members of the Association with
building facade work and other general property improvements undertaken in accordance with established design
guidelines. Design guidelines address such items as: Architecture (limited), Awnings and Window Coverings,
Landscaping, Lighting, Signage, Veners (as long as the structure is not affected), and Walls (limited).
Purpose of the Porgram : The purpose of the Facade Grant Progam is to visually improve the Greater Williamson
Road area. The grants will encourage investment and improvement of real property within the Williamson Road area
and among the WRABA member business owners as well as help to decrease vacancy, in particular vacancy of first
floor retail storefronts, improve the vibrancy of the area, and serve as a valuable tool for revitalizing the area as a
whole. Buildings selected for this grant must need one of the facade renovations listed above.
The purpose of the Facade Grant Program is to visually improve the road. The grants will encourage investment and
improvements of real property in the area.
Further, for the purpose of this project, "Facade" refers to the principal face or front area of a building or connecting area
that contributes to the appearance of the building (ie., shrubbery, building front, connecting building area, etc.).
"Facade renovation" is defined as restoring a better state by repair or update.
Application Process
Applicant must complete and sign application form (must be signed by the owner of record and/or
include the Owner’s Consent form if signee is operating on behalf of the owner).
1.
If a side or the back of the building is being selected for improvement, please give a justification
for how the side or back functions as the principal face of the building either by usage or
visibility. Only sides / back of a building with an entry point, facing a public right-of-way, are
eligible for a Façade Grant.
2.
As per directives under Procedures, all requests will be reviewed and approved or disapproved by
the Selection Board and finalized by the full WRABA Board at a regularly scheduled meeting.
3.
The Selection Board may require further descriptions of the project before making a final decision
on the eligibility of the project for the program, including sketches or other visual aids.
4.
A maximum of $3,000 per project may be granted if the project qualifies and funds are available.5.
No soft costs such as architectural, engineering, design, etc., will be considered for this grant, and
only the investment made on the façade is eligible, not in the interior of the building, building
systems, roof, or other non-visible (from street level) aspect of the building.
6.
Grant funds will be paid by WRABA upon receiving verifiable receipts of work completed along
with a photograph of the completed project.
7.
The façade renovation must be completed within one year of the date of approval, unless the
Selection Board grants an extension for such date.

Describe how the proposed project furthers the grant’s objectives of supporting historically economically disadvantaged
communities and other business districts that have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and aligns with
VMS’s priorities.
3.
Answer:
The Greater Williamson Road area is a compilation of businesses -- many of them being international in scope and run
by individuals who have been, and are, from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, many without the means to be
able to fix up their business fronts, many not knowing the "how". Many of these business owners cannot speak much
English and as such do not know the ins and outs of owning a business in the U.S., -- our goal with this Facade Grant
Project is to help and encourage new (and existing) minority-owned/immigrant-owned businesses and to help
encourage pride and ownership in owning and running a business.
Further, another goal of the Facade Grant Program is to lend support for those who are looking to join a community of
people who love to work and want to provide services / items for shoppers. We believe that if we show an interest in
the businesses, and how they look, and how they attract customers, then so will the business owners and
employees. Our focus is on helping to create and sustain a community of individuals working and growing their
businesses in tandem with one another. The improvement and betterment of the businesses/buildings in something so
simple as frontage improvement helps to not only spark new opportunities, but also helps to facilitate innovation and
rejunvenation.
The overall goal of WRABA within this program is to allow for the revitalization of small and sole proprietorshp
businesses to occur and with those roots, and the help of the Williamson Road Area Business Association, for them to
have pride in their business space in and around Williamson Road and grow their business, thus contributing to not only
their own income but to also add to the economy of the greater Williamson Road in particular, and the City of Roanoke
in general. And again, it's worth repeating: The immediate purpose of the Facade Grant Program is to visually improve
the road. The grants will encourage investment and improvements of real property in the area.
Williamson road is a plethora of businesses. More than half of the businesses are either of immigrant or of historical
disadvantaged background or are within a generation of being so. More than a few are refugee owned. Following the
pandemic these businesses -- those businesses are either of immigrant or of historical disadvantaged background or
are within a generatin of being so. More than a few are refugee owned. Following the pandemic these businesses --
those of historically disadvantaged or refugee backgrounds who have survived the past 18-24 months to continue to
struggle. We want to be able to give these buildings the same advantages that the other more established, well-taken
care of businesses have or have enjoyed. With language and culture as two strikes against, we want to be key in
helping them overcome these issues -- utilizing community resources to help them attract clientele --- and a good sense
of self-worth.

Where will this project take place (describe the business/commercial district)? Why is this district targeted for the
project? If the project is capacity building, describe how the activities will support the organization’s work in a specific
district(s).
4.
Answer:
The Mini Facade Grant Project/Program will operate out of our office location: 5301 - B Williamson Road, Roanoke,
VA 24012. Our office is located near the center of Williamson Road with 1/2 of the road being located within the City
limits and the other 1/2 being located in the County district. Williamson Road is home to more than 450 different
businesses, with at least 50% being owned/run by historically disadvantaged population -- whether City or
County. These business buildings are in competition with buildings owned by non-disaadvantaged populations with
several being owned by individuals who have come from monied-backgrounds/families.
Since the inception of RT. 581 unfortunately Williamson Road and its' business owners, as well as growing
neighborhoods, have become more of a pass-through -- truly a way to get from Point A to Point B. It is the hope of the
Williamson Road Association these small business hopefuls will be able to compete with the larger, "prettier" longer
established businesses so that what has been known in the past as Roanoke's Main Street will once again rise up and
be vibrant businesses and services for clientele traveling through as well as neighborhood residents. With these newly
well-kept buildings will come more business and more families....the cycle is a positive growth.
It is our hope and intention that if we bring these services of improvement to help build their businesses, in a very real
sense, giving them the tools and space to run their businesses, the owners will take full advantage of these positive
improvements and begin/continue steps toward establishing and growing their own businesses long into the future.
Throughout the greater Roanoke area individuals are dreaming of ways to improve their economic situation. If in some
way, the Williamson Road Association can assist them and help their dreams come true, we will have contributed
greatly to the economic fortunes and future of the Greater Williamson Road Area, helping both business success and
family success.

application.
1.
Talk to Valerie Brown, Executive Director, about your project plans to make sure your plans match the grant
program.
2.
If you desire, consult with an architect, designer, or contractor to assist you with laying out the project.3.
Obtain a written estimate from a licensed contractor for the work to be performed. NOTE: once a contractor has
been decided upon, GWRABA will contract and work directly with him/her for the work that has been
approved. The grant program will not reimburse the business should the business do extra work outside the
scope of the original agreement.
4.
Return the completed application and a cost estimate to the Executive Director of the Greater Williamson Road
Area Business Association.
5.
Then:
Along with the Executive Director, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors will review
the application(s) for submission to the entire Board of Directors at a pre-determined monthly
Board meeting.
1.
Applicants will be notified in writing of the decision. Applications will be judged on how closely
what they are requesting fits in with the overall vision of the greater Williamson Road area and the
parameters as set forth by the City or County.
2.
Funding is available on a first come, first served basis and to businesses who are current
and up to date with their membership dues. Subsequent requests from the same businesses
(once their first request has been funded with 10% from the business owner) for additional work
will be expected to contribute a portion of the costs with the maximum amount of owner’s
contribution capping at 50%. (ie., after initial project has been funded if business requests a
second project, owner will be expected to pay 20% of total cost; 3 rd request 30%, 4th request 40%
and should there be a 5 th request then the owner would be expected to contribute 50%).
3.
Project must be approved before work begins. At this point all direction comes from GWRABA.4.

COMPLETION and APPROVAL of the improvement according to the description in the application.
5.
A written explanation of the reasons for denial of an application will be supplied within 30 days
from the date of the review decision.
6.
The Greater Williamson Road Area Business Association has been very successful in its work with The
Williamson -- as shared office work space/co-lab that was built last year from grant funds from
DHCD. The success of the shared office space in having the private offices filled almost immediately as
well as having the open air desks at 80% capacity, along with almost daily rental useage of the two
conference rooms, is proof that we are in the right place servicing the new/disadvantaged
populations/solo-entrepreneurs of the greater Williamson Road area. The Facade Grant Program is the
next natural step in our working to help and support the businesses, new and old, in the greater
community. The success with The Williamson breathes future success for the Facade Grant Program.

more, the origianl approved will be granted. If all grant money for the year has been allocated, WRABA may file the
application to be processed in the next fiscal year. The project must be completed and all bills submitted to be paid by
WRABA. The applicant must be a paid member of WRABA to qualify. Before final payment, the ED and/or a member
of the Executive Board will perform a site visit to confirm the project has been completed. The facade renovation must
be completed within one year of the date of approval; applicants must comply with all other applicable laws, rules and
regulations, including a review and appraoval of plans by any City or County review board as may be required.

Roanoke City and County along the greater Williamson Road Corridor
Williamson Road Area Business Association

Executive Director
Williamson Road Area Business Association
Mailing Address: P.O. Box 7082, Roanoke, VA 24019
Physical Address: 5301 – B Williamson Road, Roanoke VA 24012

1. Briefly describe the economic and physical characteristics of your downtown or
commercial district (attach an 8 ½” x 11” map with building footprints showing district
boundaries; include an aerial photo if available.).
Williamson Road was once a thriving “main street” hub within the City and County of Roanoke.
The corridor is a portion of U.S. Route 11 that is currently developed with a mix of legacy
businesses that continue to hold on (ie., car dealerships and hardware stores in particular) as well
as a variety of new immigrant-led businesses (restaurants and food stores), but also includes a
significant number of vacant commercial buildings and vacant lots along the corridor. The
corridor that was vibrant and thriving in the 1960’s and 1970’s has not evolved significantly from
its heyday when the family automobile was the predominant travel mode and “main street” hubs
were the predominant places for families to shop.
Williamson Road also extends into Roanoke County. The County end of the corridor also shares
the “main street” hub which connected the County with the City proper. The County end of the
corridor is also a mix of legacy businesses plus a private university. Missing on the County end
are sidewalks, bike lanes, curbs and curb ramps, much the same as on the City end.
Williamson Road encompasses almost 10+ miles of road in both the City and the County –
covering almost 450 different businesses but among those businesses are several vacant
storefronts. Williamson Road is a plethora of businesses – one can literally travel the world on
the 10+ miles of Williamson Road. More than half of those businesses are either of immigrant or
of historical disadvantaged background or are within a generation of being so (immigrants).
More than a few are refugee owned.
The population of the Williamson Road area is well over 15,000 and continues to grow. Though
the number of residents remained stable, and the number of businesses has ebbed and flowed
equally, the population has diversified in terms of race. The African American population has
nearly doubled and people of multiple races or of other races has more than tripled. The area has
a smaller percentage of young people and a higher percentage of seniors than the City and
County as a whole.
2. Briefly describe the structure of your organization. (attach list(s) of Board committee
members)
The Greater Williamson Road Area Business Association is overseen by a Board of Directors but
the Association and the shared office workspace, The Williamson, are both run by the Executive
Director (ED). The ED and the Board of Directors work in conjunction with each other with the
ED running the day to day and long-term issues/events. The Board and the ED meet formally
once a month and with in-between meetings as necessary.
Executive Director:
Valerie A. Brown
The Board of Directors:
Chad Scott, President
Ernie Chandler, Vice-President
Chuck Neely, Treasurer
Mike Pendleton, Secretary
William Dixon, Director
Buddy Rathmell, Director
Liz Sturgill, Director
Katie Lewis, Director

Alex Jones, Director
Brad Boettcher, Director
Brandon Stinnett, Director
3. Briefly outline the efforts made to improve the downtown or commercial district over the
past five years.
There have been numerous efforts made over the past five years to improve the Williamson Road
corridor or at least to discuss efforts that need to be considered. On the County end of the road,
there have been several steps taken to improve the safety of the road. These steps have included
laying new sidewalks along portions of the road for the safety and convenience of walkers, and
to some extent, bikers. Since there is currently no public transportation along this part of the
corridor it is important that pedestrian safety be considered. There also has been some
redirection of road lanes in that two lanes each way have been reduced to one lane each way with
a shared turning lane which has helped in the flow (and speed) of traffic. Both of these efforts
have lead to an increased interest in area shopping. Several smaller businesses have opened in
some of the older buildings along the road and as the businesses are opening there has been an
increased interest in ribbon cuttings/open houses and advertising of the businesses to the greater
public.
On the City end of the Williamson Road corridor over the past five years studies have been
conducted that focused on safety, local economy and transportation. A plan is being developed
by the City to work with our Association as well as the local transportation office along with US
DOT to look at how best to improve the corridor while at the same time attract new businesses
to fill the empty buildings. Attention is also being addressed towards sidewalk, curb and traffic
lane safety in an effort to encourage the corridor as a safe and inviting shopping destination.
These efforts from both the City and County help to lay the foundation for our upcoming grant
proposal for a façade grant program to entice new and existing businesses to take greater pride in
ownership and in customer appeal.
Our particular location, being at the intersection of the City and the County borders, also has
been key in these studies and plans as we work to seamlessly improve the totality of the
Williamson Road corridor.
4. Briefly describe what you hope to achieve participating in Exploring Main Street.
Our plan is to work towards a positive change in our community – herein the totality of the
Williamson Road corridor --- working with the support of our local municipalities and
community and economic development organizations, both City and County. Our goal is to
create an inviting business environment as opposed to just a larger geographic area with old
buildings.
With the Exploring Main Street Program we look forward to applying for grants that will help
leverage additional resources for the Williamson Road corridor. The technical assistance that the
Virginia Main Street staff will be able to provide will be invaluable. Being involved with the
Virginia Main Street staff will also allow for a measure of organizational sustainability as we can
depend on their focus and experience. What this program brings to the table for us is continued
support that has the potential to bring diverse stakeholders together and encourage them to be
part of the revitalization process --- in this case, being part of the façade grant program.
We also are focusing on increased entrepreneurship, continued economic investment by new and
seasoned business owners, as well as the social activity that economic vitality will lend to the
heart of the corridor.
Other outcomes:
➢ The ability to build new relationships with the community that uses Williamson Road, as
demonstrated by active engagement of new partners (business owners and shoppers);
➢ By working with business owners we will be able to increase community stakeholders;
➢ The ability to increase and foster public support for our project(s);
➢ By working with and following the Exploring Main Street Program to include all of the
above, and being successful with our façade grant program, we can ensure that the
Williamson Road corridor will be a true reflection of the diversity of the community and
lend increased economic strength to the corridor long into the futurej.

MEETING DATE: January 23, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution approving fiscal year 2024 salaries for Roanoke

SUBMITTED BY: Peter S. Lubeck
County Attorney
APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Salaries need to be set for newly-elected Commissioner of the Revenue and Clerk of
the Circuit Court.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
W. Michael Galliher was elected as the Roanoke County Clerk of the Circuit Court on
November 7, 2023.
P. Jason Peters was elected as the Roanoke County Commissioner of the Revenue on
November 7, 2023.
It has been proposed that the newly-elected Constitutional Officers receive pay that is
commensurate with what was received by their predecessors, taking into account any
professional certifications that have not yet been received by the newly-elected officials.
It has been proposed that the salary of the Clerk of the Circuit Court be set at
$170,106.00, and that the salary of the Commissioner of the Revenue be set at
$128,400.73. This is consistent with the Board's previous decision to uniformly
supplement the salary paid by the Commonwealth's Compensation Board, for all of the
County's Constitutional Officers.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The annualized estimated fiscal impact to the County (the amount by which the County
would supplement the salary that is set and paid by the Commonwealth's Compensation
Board) is approximately $15,219.84 for the Clerk of Circuit Court, and $12,498.97 for
the Commissioner of the Revenue. The amounts are included in the current budget.
