Radford's City Council has appointed a blue ribbon panel to study the high turnover rate and how salaries compare to others in the area. The study should be completed in November. Some members of Roanoke City's zoning board say one decision about the Cherry Hill Condo project was a BIG mistake, but they didn't take any action on the issue. More than eight months ago, the board approved construction of this five million dollar project. When developers ran into trouble with rock and tree removal, the zoning administrator, NOT the board, approved a 90 degree rotation in construction.
Some board members say that decision was a big mistake.
A work stoppage order was issued, but developers continued construction while the decision was appealed. They say there was too much at stake to stop. The Board could not take a vote to continue construction or to stop it because all the members were not present. Another meeting will be held on October third. Lewis Gale Clinic now has a total of 40 doctors who have resigned in the last year, with the resignations of three more physicians.
