What happened to all of the trees at Interstate 81 and 581?
The Wood Haven Technology Park continues to move forward

There’s a big change to the landscape coming into Roanoke from Interstate 81.
Large swaths of trees were clear cut for the technology park at the juncture of Interstates 81 and 581 off Wood Haven Road in Roanoke County.
There’s been lots of work behind the scenes, but this visual change is the most striking. You can see it from Interstate 81 - the trees have been cut for the future home of the Wood Haven Technology Park.
It’s a joint venture between the local governments as the Western Virginia Regional Industrial Facility Authority. John Hill is the Executive Director and said while some of the trees were cut for Interstate 81 expansion, their property was also cleared.
