AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
IN ROANOKE, VA ON TUESDAY,
MEETING DATE: February 12, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: National Park Service (NPS) Visitor Center Location
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Roanoke County has supported Explore and related elements, i.e.
Roanoke River Greenway, Parkway, and Visitor Center, located in the
County in the past.
Mr. Hodge will brief the Board of Supervisors on recent activities
related to the location of a national Visitor Center being planned
along the Blue Ridge Parkway and recommend Board action.
BACKGROUND:
In April 1987, Congress created a new, national parkway and
allocated $15 million for its planning and construction.
In October 1988, the U. S. Department of the Interior appropriated
$450,000 for site selection, programming, and architectural plan
production of a National Park Service Visitor Center to be located
near the Blue Ridge Parkway and Roanoke River Parkway.
Five sites in Roanoke County were studied in the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS attached, please see pages
20-23) for the Roanoke River Parkway.
Of the five sites studied, one has been identified by NPS as the
best, most visible site. The Explore Park Master Plan illustrated
the preferred location in its 1987 plan, then reflecting the
connector from the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Roanoke River Parkway.
Plans have changed for the Roanoke River Parkway, which is now
being looked at as a 2 1/4 mile spur road from the Blue Ridge
Parkway to Explore by way of the Roanoke Regional Landfill.
Southeast Regional Director stating the County's preference
for site #3 as outlined in the DEIS and stating reasons for
prefering this site.
2. Administrator recommends that the County request a meeting
with the Southeast Regional Director to express interest and
preference.

RECREATION FACILITY DEVELOPMENT
VISITOR CENTER SITES
The need for a visitor center to serve the
Roanoke Valley has long been recognized by
the Blue Ridge Parkway. The purpose of the
center would be to orient visitors on the Blue
Ridge Parkway to the Roanoke area. Now
that the development of a Roanoke River
Parkway is being considered, it is logical to
include a visitor center as a related action.
The location would depend on the park road
alignment selected, and five sites are being
evaluated.
The visitor center would provide information
about recreational opportunities available
throughout the region. Interpretive displays
would describe the significance of the natural
water gap, historic migration and settlement
routes, and the history of the area as a
transportation hub, including the role of
railroads.
The 11,000 -square -foot center would house a
150 -seat auditorium for audiovisual media,
exhibit space, administrative offices, and
restrooms. An outdoor program area and a
nature trail would also be developed, along
with picnic areas and parking (200 cars).
Of the five locations that have been identi-
fied, three are north of the Roanoke River
and would be most suitable for road
alignment 2; the other two are south of the
river and would work best with alignment 1
or 3. Access to the visitor center would be by
way of a connector road between the Blue
Ridge and Roanoke River parkways (see
Visitor Center Site Conceptual Sketches).
Under the no -action alternative the general
management plan for the Blue Ridge Park-
way would consider the development of a
Roanoke Valley visitor center. Site 2 lies
partially within the present Blue Ridge
Parkway boundary.
Regardless of which site was selected, mea-
sures to improve access, post signs, and
reduce local road impacts would be deter-
mined in the final design. Construction costs
20
would range from $7.5 million (site 3) to $10
million (site 5). All parkway facilities and
programs would be accessible to special
populations.
Site 1. Site 1 is in Vinton, on the north side
of the Roanoke River. The site is on land
known as the MacDonald farm, and the ter-
rain is rolling pasture. A visitor center would
not be visible to motorists on either the Blue
Ridge Parkway or the Roanoke River Park-
way. This site does not offer views of the
Roanoke River gorge.
Site 2. The second site is also on the north
side of the Roanoke River and just south and
east of the Blue Ridge Parkway, so a visitor
center here would be clearly visible to
motorists on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is
a small site on the Hammond farm, and it is
partially owned by the National Park Service.
The site is on the northwest side of a small
hill, and there are no views toward the
Roanoke River gorge.
Site 3 — Proposed Action. Site 3 is entirely
on the Hammond farm, on the south side of
a hill. It affords good views of the Roanoke
Valley's rolling landscape and the river gorge.
Because of the topography, a visitor center at
this location, even though it is near site 2,
would not be visible from the Blue Ridge
Parkway.
Site 4. The fourth site is in a relatively small
wooded area on the south side of the Roa-
noke River. It is next to an operating salvage
yard just east of the Blue Ridge Parkway,
and the visitor center would be visible from
that parkway. The Roanoke River Parkway
would be north of this site, but the topo-
graphy would block views of the visitor center
because of the topography. There would be
no vistas toward the Roanoke River gorge.
Constructing a connector road and visitor
center at this site would require the existing
Virginia 618 underpass at the Blue Ridge
Parkway to be rebuilt to provide room for the
connector road interchange.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:

COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE: February 12, 1991
AGENDA ITEM: Authorization to reimburse Botetourt County for
industrial access road at Bonsack Industrial
Park
COUNTY ADMIN,yISTRATOR'S COMMENTS:
BACKGROUND•
The Commonwealth Transportation Board provided the bonds for the
Bonsack Industrial Park access road. They require that a qualifying
industry locate in an industrial park in order to receive these
funds. The state determined that Tweeds, located in the park, did
not meet the criteria for industrial access funds, and Botetourt
County assumed the responsibility for funding of the road until a
qualifying industry could be found. The contract establishing the
joint industrial park provided that Roanoke County would reimburse
Botetourt County half of the cost if a qualifying industry did not
locate in the park.
SUMMARY OF INFORMATION
Arkay Packaging had chosen to locate in the Bonsack Industrial Park
and this industry met the requirements for state funding of the
industrial access road. However, due to economic conditions, they
have decided not to begin construction on the site. As a result,
the Virginia Department of Transportation has requested
reimbursement of the costs of the project. The total cost of the
access road is $261,354.99, of which Roanoke County's share is
$130,677.49.
Should a qualifying industry locate in the industrial park within
the next year, the state will reimburse Roanoke County and
Botetourt County for the access road.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost to Roanoke County is $130,677.49. $64,615 is
available in the Economic Development Budget, and the balance is
