So, the county just picked up this big piece of land, 55 acres, over in Max Meadows. It used to be a mall, you know, a whole shopping spot, but it's been sitting empty for years. The old buildings are gone now, thanks to a fire. Now, they haven't decided exactly what's going to happen there yet.
The plan is to bring in some developers and see what makes sense for the community, whether that's shops, houses, parks, or a mix of everything. The county administrator, Stephen Baer, mentioned this, gives them options to shape the land for what people actually need.
And the chairman of the Board of Supervisors, James Smith, thinks this could really open doors for the Fort Chiswell area and the whole county. This spot is right by the intersection of Interstate 77 and 81, where a ton of cars pass by every single day over 60,000.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (1 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
