West Roanoke River Greenway Feasibility Study

Overview

Roanoke County is conducting a feasibility study to determine realistic alignments for the Roanoke River Greenway between Green Hill Park and Montgomery County, with technical assistance from the National Park Service Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance program. The study began in summer 2022 and will run through summer 2023.

Next Steps

Roanoke County and National Park Service staff will spend the winter reviewing feedback from the Fall 2022 community meetings and survey, and formulating conceptual route recommendations. A second round of community meetings will be held in spring 2023, where citizens will be able to review and comment on potential alignments for the West Roanoke River Greenway.
