Re : Support for Rezoning and Special Use Permit -3037 & 3133 Rutrough Road (Vinton Magiste ri al
District)
Chairman Radford and Roanoke County Board of Supervisors:
On behalf of the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce , I am writing to express our support for the
petition of Hamlar Properties, LLC to rezone approximately 3.8 acres from Agricultural/Res idential Dist r ict
to AgriculturalNillage Center Distr ict and to approve a special use permit for a proposed multi-family
development at 3037 and 3133 Rutrough Road .
The Roanoke Regional Chamber's mission is to promote , stimulate , and improve business. We strive to
improve the community and economy by maximizing the business climate of the current generation for
future generations . One of ways we do this is by influencing public policy and taking positions on issues
that will propel the region to future growth. We believe this project aligns with our mission by supporting
workforce hous ing , balanced growth , and economic v itality in the Mount Pleasant planning area .
This project will provide attractive , low-density housing in an area that needs additional residential options
without plac ing undue stress on existing facilities or transportation . Expanding the availability of quality
housing options is essential to sustaining our region 's workforce and supporting employers ' efforts to
attract and retain talent. The proposed rezoning and development would make productive use of the
currently vacant properties , while contributing to the vitality of the surrounding community .
We respectfully urge approval of this request and appreciate your consideration of projects that contribute
to Roanoke County 's continued growth and prosperity . Please do not hesitate to reach out with any
questions.
Sincerely ,
Eric Sichau
President & CEO
Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce
