The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center
Imagining the Blue Ridge Parkway for the 21st Century: Sustaining Communities, Environments, and Economies
Virginia Tech’s College of Natural Resources and Environment in cooperation with Blue Ridge Parkway 75, Inc. is hosting Imagining the Blue Ridge Parkway for the 21st Century: Sustaining Communities, Environments, and Economies. This is the second in a two-part conversation about the past and future of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the first part held in April at Appalachian State University. The historic Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center in Roanoke, Virginia, will be the host hotel for this October 14-16, 2010 symposium, which will be the leading program on linear parkway planning held in this region and will include some of the foremost authorities to address issues that directly impact communities along the Parkway’s 469-mile route.
The program is designed to assist community leaders, businesses, economic development authorities, tourism offices, Parkway officials, and supporters of the Parkway in working together for a sustainable future for the Parkway.
