Daleville Town Center was center stage last night at the Chamber of Commerce After Hours and  meet the candidates, but all paled in comparison to the beautiful earth friendly building.

Energy efficient with gorgeous views-- really not a bad view in the house, showcase the brainchild of  CEO Karen Wadron of Fralin and Waldron, the developer for the Town Center. The building is about 90 percent complete said Andy Kelderhouse, president of Fralin and Waldron.  F & W will house their main offices on the second floor of the building which has 26,000 square feet of retail and business space. "Fralin and Waldron hope to occupy their space by November 20," said Kelderhouse.

The windows are operable in the building as well as the use of polished concrete floors with scatter rugs, the chosen color scheme blends with the natural setting surrounding the Town Center building, Kelderhouse noted that Karen Waldron specifically chose the color scheme for that reason. "Cloud" lighting fixtures and windows that display some of the best views of Botetourt County highlight the construction. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the rock work and sidewalks add to the natural feel of the building.

So far along with F&W,  Williams Supply Company (and a board of supervisors on Tuesday October 27 approval for the medical center) and 20,000 medical imaging center to be built in the Town Center are the fleet of flagship businesses for the site.

Said Steve Claytor, director of development, This is not just the building but the whole project that reflects the efforts of the entire Town Center and TND concept the F&W team has put together."

From 5:30- 7:30 the building hosted the curious and movers and shakers of Botetourt County in the Chamber of Commerce After Hours and meet the candidates night. If the Town Center looks out at Botetourt beauty all day,  it becomes the crown jewel of the night sky in Daleville at night. Food by Schaals Catering and a chance to meet and greet the candidates for  Tuesday November 3 local and state elections  provided a good opportunity for networking and fellowship.
