Wal-Mart's Preparations for Roanoke County Store Progressing

Plans to build a new Walmart Supercenter in Roanoke County are back on track, according to the Roanoke Times.

Wal-Mart recently submitted its latest set of roadway improvement plans to the Virginia Department of Transportation. The major components of the plan include a reconfiguration of the intersection of Buck Mountain Road, U.S. 220 and Stable Lane, and lane configurations at Clearbrook Village Lane and U.S. 220. VDOT has approved the company's traffic impact analysis and is now reviewing the latest set of plans, including elements such as drainage, flood studies and the extension of a culvert under U.S. 220.

The development to this area will pave way to future businesses, and increase property values.

"The long-stalled development of a new Wal-Mart Supercenter in the Clearbrook area of Roanoke County is well under way again.

Land purchases, road plans and site plan reviews are all moving ahead, according to various sources.

Richmond-based Thalhimer, a real estate services company, announced Thursday that it has completed the acquisition of 29 acres in Clearbrook for Wal-Mart Stores East."
