Roanoke County
“Roanoke County has been awarded $753,550 in grant money under the
state Stormwater Local Assistance Fund to assist in meeting water quality
standards set by the federal government. The money is managed by the Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality, which makes $35 million available in matching grants to aid local
governments.
The county will use the funds on two projects: Glade Creek stream
restoration at Vineyard Park and stream restoration at Murray Run and Ogden
Road. The projects aim to reduce phosphorus levels in storm water. The town of
Christiansburg and the city of Lexington also will receive grants. Lexington
will receive $225,000 and Christiansburg $631,000 for various projects.”
