Dear Citizen:
In 2014,we started a new branding initiative IN Vinton based on
some pretty significant findings by talking with extraordinary citizens
like you.
Those findings revealed that…
•a community that is open, friendly and welcoming;
•a classic “small town” where everyone knows everyone;
•geographically small;
•viewed as an excellent place to raise a family;
•seen as a “blue collar” town where hard work is valued;
•a caring community that rallies to support its own and others;
•located where it is ideal for those who love the outdoors;
•known for services that are outstanding and driven by strong
customer service;
•easily accessible to both the city and rural environments, plus
the Blue Ridge Parkway and Smith Mountain Lake;and
•a town on the rise, making excellent progress and starting to
turn heads.
However, in order for our town to really succeed, we need YOU to
help us get the word out that…
•a town with a bright future;
•an excellent place for businesses;
•a great place for shopping and dining;
•a diverse place to live;
•a town on the move; and
•an innovative town.
Can we count on you to let everyone know that you are glad to be
“IN Vinton”? Join us on Facebook —www.facebook.com/InVinton
Warmest Regards,
L-R –Mayor Brad Grose, Wes Nance, Sabrina Weeks,
Vice Mayor Matt Hare, Doug Adams

National Night Out is “America’s Night Out Against Crime”.
This initiative began in 1984 to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back against crime.An event to recognize and celebrate National Night Out is held annually,promoted by the Vinton Police Department,on the first Tuesday of August. The event is attended by neighborhood watch groups, civic groups, elected officials, administrative staff from local government, business owners, and many citizens from the community. We are proud of the community relationship the police department has developed with our citizens and will continue to promote crime prevention programs such as National Night Out.

STORMWATER INFORMATION
Stormwater management is the process of controlling
the runo˛ tha t comes primarily from impervious surfaces
like parking lots, driveways and rooftops. Stormwater ˝o ws
directly from streets and gutters into our streams and river,
often with no treatment.
This means stormwater can transport pollutants such as
motor oil, household cleaners, yard fertilizers, litter, pet
wastes, soaps, grass clippings and other materials that may
negatively impact the quality of drinking water and aquatic
life in creeks and the Roanoke River. Clean stormwater
runo˛ is essen tial to the overall environmental health of our
creeks, streams, lakes, rivers and oceans.
The mission of stormwater management is to integrate
water quality and quantity control in compliance with the
Town’s stormwater discharge permit. This permit is issued
by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The
VSMP MS4 permit can be viewed on the Town website
under the Planning and Zoning Department section.
In response to the Clean Water Act’s requirements,
the Town of Vinton has developed a comprehensive
and proactive stormwater management program,
in cooperation with the adjoining Roanoke Valley
governments.
The Town’s plan includes a strong emphasis on K-12
education, and adult and professional training in
cooperation with the Clean Valley Council.For information,
please call 540-983-0601.
