In new business, the Board of Supervisors approved a resolution supporting funding for repairs and strategic implementation of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation Strategic Plan "Blue Ridge Rising" along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Virginia.

“Blue Ridge Rising” is an initiative of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation. The Parkway is one of the most visited units of the National Park System; it hosted 15.9 million visitors along its ridges in 2021. The 469-mile ribbon of road travels through 12 counties in Virginia and 17 counties in North Carolina, connecting rural mountain communities, towns and cities. The Parkway generates approximately $1.3 billion of positive annual economic impact to the adjacent communities. The Parkway is a catalyst for promoting regional tourism and is a significant contributor to regional economic vitality.

The resolution of support specifically outlines Roanoke County’s request of support for marketing the Roanoke Region along the Parkway, coordinating support for Roanoke region events such as races, keeping the Blue Ridge Parkway open during Illuminights at Explore Park, and supporting the repair of the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation's Strategic Plan - "Blue Ridge Rising."
