As bulldozers clear the way for construction of an automotive parts manufacturer, the excess dirt will be used to make a nearby site ready for the next industry that might come to Botetourt County.
Plans to develop what’s called a pad-ready site at the Greenfield industrial park were approved Tuesday by the county board of supervisors.
The 14-acre site, across International Parkway from where Eldor Corp. of Italy plans to build its East Coast manufacturing and distribution facility, will be the only one of its kind in the Roanoke Valley, County Administrator Gary Larrowe said.
When work on the Eldor site began this spring, it created an opportunity for Botetourt to add a new marketing tool to its economic development efforts.
