The Western Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority (WVRIFA) was formed in 2013 to enhance economic growth for member localities by developing, owning, and operating one or more facilities on a cooperative basis. The WVRIFA is a voluntary cost and revenue sharing model, whereby multiple jurisdictions can jointly acquire and develop property and share in the revenues generated from new development. There are six-member localities in the WVRIFA - Roanoke County, Botetourt County, Franklin County, Roanoke City, Salem City, and the Town of Vinton. Roanoke County and the Cities of Roanoke and Salem are the only participants in the Wood Haven project. The properties collectively referred to as the Wood Haven Technology Park consist of over 100 acres. Specific project and development plans were produced in conjunction with a community engagement process in 2017 and 2018. Structures on the property were demolished and Roanoke Gas made system improvements on the property in 2018. Additional property was acquired and rezoned in 2019/2020 to improve the development. Water and sewer utilities were extended and an entrance road was built in FY 2020. Grading of a 20-acre pad (of a designed and permitted 53-acre pad) is 90% complete. FY-2024-2033 *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly.
