Market commodity: solid information
Three major projects on the City Market will disrupt business. Great care must be taken.
Three major projects are planned in the coming year for Roanoke's Market Square, any one of which would be disruptive on its own. Combined, they could prove chaotic and rekindle hostility among the people who share the market.
