Roanoke County to host community meeting on Glenvar Center Plan draft recommendations
Salem, Virginia – Roanoke County is inviting community members to take part in the next step toward shaping the future of the Glenvar Center. A community meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, October 29, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at Fort Lewis Elementary School, located at 3115 West Main Street in Salem.
This upcoming session serves as a continuation of the community engagement process that began earlier in the spring of 2025. During those initial meetings, residents and stakeholders shared thoughts and ideas about the development goals for the Glenvar Center. The October meeting will provide attendees with a chance to review the draft recommendations that have been developed based on public input and planning research so far.
Attendees will have the opportunity to provide feedback and voice any concerns or suggestions they may have. The meeting will follow an open house format, meaning residents can arrive and participate at any time during the two-hour window. This flexible setup is meant to make it easier for more people to contribute, regardless of their schedules.
“This meeting offers an important chance for the public to review what’s been proposed and help shape the final outcome,” said Isaac Henry, Principal Planner for Roanoke County. “The more we hear from the people who live, work, and invest in this area, the better we can reflect their needs in the final plan.”
Those with questions or needing more information are encouraged to contact Isaac Henry directly by phone at (540) 772-2140 or by email at [email protected].
By continuing to involve the public at every stage, Roanoke County aims to create a community-driven Glenvar Center Plan that supports smart development, improved infrastructure, and thoughtful land use decisions that benefit both current and future residents.
